Upgraded again?

Is it the priest’s level that’s upgraded again?

Garrett Nordmark glanced wearily at the oak staff, no longer surprised. If the priest’s level is upgraded first, then let it be. Anyway, when the priest’s level is raised, the mental strength limit will also increase. As for the mage level and such...

Garrett made an effort, his face turning red from the strain, but the meditative environment remained undisturbed. Garrett wasn’t in a hurry; encountering some opportunity again, he would probably level up.

After all, he didn’t believe it would take a year or more.

He jumped off the bed, reaching out to grasp the oak staff. Two leaves adorned the staff’s head, one on the left and one on the right. The one on the right was a deep green, slightly rigid to the touch. The one on the left, however, was a fresh, light jade green, seemingly translucent under the bright desk lamp.

...Growing like this, it practically shouted "Level Two" on the front and "Newly Upgraded" on the back. Garrett was sweating profusely. Could we not have our levels written on our faces? Even if they are, does it have to be so obvious?

The oak staff remained still in Garrett’s hand, the leaves not swaying at all, as if it had nothing to do with the sudden appearance of the leaves just now. Garrett shook it a couple of times, fiddled with it, but the wooden staff remained motionless, as if saying, "I’m just a piece of wood; don’t bother me..."

And communicating with plants? Sorry, after Garrett leveled up to Priest Level 1, he was busy all over the place, one thing after another. He didn’t have time to stay by the teacher’s side and understand this skill...

Now, with the staff in his hand playing dead, Garrett, apart from poking and shaking it, had no other way. He couldn’t even bite into it, right?

And he couldn’t bite it anyway!

Garrett silently threw the staff back to the desk and lay down to sleep. However, writing was fun, organizing the crematorium, Garrett spent nearly ten days to complete the paper —

Copying dozens of charts several times, copying magic had its limitations and couldn’t be used for drawing. Drawing, drawing, and drawing again, eyes were getting tired, and hands were getting sore...

Fortunately, making multiple copies was useful. This time submitting the paper, the assistant of the training class already had a deep impression of him, quietly guiding him:

"The article you submitted to me is considered homework, and the chances of being recorded by the council are not high. It was lucky last time that Archmage Qifar was willing to help you submit it, but it’s best not to gamble on that probability.

Since your paper contains magical innovations, it’s best to submit it to the council’s Magic Review Committee, get some research points, and it will be convenient for you to enter the headquarters of the Magic Tower in the future.

Where to submit it? The offices of the Magic Council are all together, just go west along the foothills, and that six-story white tower is..." 𝒻𝓻𝑒ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝑛𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝑐𝘰𝓶

The white tower wasn’t far from Nevis City. The tall tower was built at the foot of the mountain, two floors higher than the surrounding houses. Standing at the entrance of the academy, you could see it just by looking up. Not just Garrett, but the mages of the entire Nevis City couldn’t miss it.

Garrett also easily entered the white tower. As soon as he entered, he felt like he had traveled from medieval Europe back to the 21st century:

In the spacious entrance hall, warm wind brushed his face, and the temperature and humidity were pleasant. Although Garrett knew it was due to the overall solidification of the 【Cold and Heat Resistance】 magic, it didn’t prevent him from feeling like central air conditioning was working at full power here;

A sign stood tall next to the door, indicating the functions of each floor from the first to the sixth: the first floor was the management center, the second floor was the arcane library, the third floor was the magic exchange center, the fourth floor was the meditation center, and the fifth floor was the laboratory. Near the door, a similar sign was embedded on the wall, and when Garrett looked over, he heard a "ding" sound, and a door slid open next to the sign, with a mage stepping out from inside;

As for the ceiling of the first-floor hall, five signs hung high, red, yellow, blue, green, and black, with five-colored text, indicating the names and functions of different areas. There were also five-colored arrows on the floor, winding back and forth, even if the mages didn’t look at the signs, they could follow the guidance of the floor arrows and reach their destination smoothly.

This... this layout, which is like a large shopping mall and a government service hall, who designed it? The transmigrated predecessor, perhaps?

Garrett silently criticized, looking around. In addition to the entrance hall on the first floor of the white tower, there were five other areas:

The red task area and the yellow exchange area took up the largest area, bustling with noise. Garrett stood at the entrance for a minute and saw seven or eight mages quickly coming in and out. Some had happy faces, and some looked dejected;

The blue mage management area was not small, but it was quiet, with two glass doors closed, emitting a cool blue light;

The green magic review area was the smallest, and as for the black emergency management area, the black heavy iron door was tightly closed, with no one entering or leaving, and the surrounding mages deliberately avoided it.

Garrett observed for a moment and walked towards the entrance of the magic review area. Two meters away, the semi-transparent arch disappeared silently. Next to the arch, a pair of half-foot-high flower spirits flew out, laughing and bowing to him:

"Respected mage, welcome. Please follow us~~~"

Huh?

This was the first time Garrett had seen these creatures, although he had seen them in the magical tower’s collection. He couldn’t help but look at them carefully, and the two flower spirits didn’t dodge, allowing him to observe freely. It was only when Garrett reached out that they suddenly fluttered their wings and moved away, leaving a trail in the air.

"You can’t touch them..." A soft laughter sounded in front. Garrett raised his head and saw a girl in a deep blue long dress smiling at him. When she noticed him looking over, she gently bent her knees in a bow, with a sweet and playful smile:

"Respected mage, I am Angelina, the receptionist of the council. May I ask what business you are here for?"

"I’m here to submit new magic and a paper."

"To submit magic, go to the right, the fourth office. Your Excellency Mage, don’t you have your own badge yet? During the waiting time for the paper feedback, you can go to the adjacent Mage Management Department to register. With a badge, receiving research points and transferring contribution points will be more convenient."

Garrett thanked her with a smile, followed the guidance, and entered the corridor. Most of the offices in the review area were closed, but the fourth one had its door wide open, and there was a continuous

shimmering light inside. Garrett politely knocked on the door, and a mechanical voice answered flatly:

"Please come in."

Garrett stepped inside. The office wasn’t large, only about thirteen or fourteen square meters, with half a person not visible inside. Garrett was still looking for the staff when the mechanical voice from the central table began:

"To submit magic, press 1; to check paper feedback, press 2; to receive paper rewards, press 3; to replay, press 4; for customer service, press 0..."

Uh...

Uh...

I feel like I went to the wrong place, no, I went to the wrong world altogether, right? Garrett silently muttered in his mind and, on the desktop crystal keyboard — the layout of which also resembled the numeric keypad from his previous life — pressed 1. In an instant, the second round of mechanical sound started:

"For submitting only the paper, press 1; for submitting the paper and magic scroll, press 2; for submitting the paper and magic items, press 3; for submitting magic of level 5 and above, press 4; for replay, press 5; for customer service..."

Garrett hurriedly pressed 1. The desktop cover slid open to both sides, and a box about a foot square rose, the mechanical voice continued flatly:

"Please put the paper into the teleportation magic array—"
