Chapter 202 Mage Academy
The Fountain of Eternity, according to legend, is the spring given to Asgard by the World Tree. Legend has it that it is because of this spring that all Asgardians have a lifespan of 5,000 years.

Of course, the legend is not accurate. The Asgardians do not have a lifespan of 5,000 years because of this spring. The effect of the Eternal Fountain is to increase the lifespan of ordinary people, but for the Asgardians, the effect is minimal.

After all, the cost for ordinary people to increase their lifespan is not high, but if you want to increase the lifespan of a god, the cost is countless times that of an ordinary person.

Maybe just one drop of the Fountain of Eternity can allow an ordinary person to live for hundreds of years, but if Odin wants to increase his lifespan by hundreds of years, the amount of the Fountain of Eternity required is an astronomical number.

The Fountain of Eternity was used by the royal family of the Aesir to prolong their lifespan. Odin was able to live for more than 5,500 years, partly due to the effect of Odin's sleep and partly due to the effect of the Fountain of Eternity.

Thor plans to use the Fountain of Eternity to give Jane a long life.

Richard is not optimistic about Thor and Jane. After all, the gap between their lives is too big. Let Odin worry about this problem.

Richard controlled the psychic fire and quickly melted the hammer, then separated the metals. In the end, he successfully separated a large piece of Uru metal from the hammer.

Richard really couldn't understand why the Aesir had such a special liking for hammers. Every time he saw Thor holding a hammer, he felt that Thor was like a blacksmith who always wanted to find a piece of iron to hit with his hammer for some unknown reason.

The hammer in front of him looked like the one used to smash the wall during renovation. Suddenly, Richard had the sound of "eighty, eighty, eighty" in his mind. Finally, he quickly shook his head to get rid of these thoughts.

After putting away the Uru metal, Richard also separated the remaining metals and stored them. Although these metals were not as good as Uru, they were also precious metals that could be used to make hammers.

The magic conduction effect and energy fusion of these Uru metals are stronger than Mithril, and the overall properties are more than twice that of Mithril. Richard plans to use them to make an elemental fusion furnace.

In addition to Uru, Magic Vibranium is also a good material for making elemental fusion furnaces. Richard used Magic Vibranium in the elemental fission furnace he made. As a result, the power of the elemental fission furnace on the Mage Tower was more than doubled, and it ran very stably.

Those people in Wakanda actually made vibranium into various cold weapons, which was simply a waste of natural resources. So Li Ze thought it would be better to give these things to him for safekeeping.

As for the people in Wakanda, they are living a good life by mining, growing cotton and watermelons. I believe they will like it.

After seeing the hammer melted by Richard, Thor no longer planned to bring the hammers back to Asgard. After all, the purpose of bringing them back was to prevent the snake Kul from using the hammers to break free from the seal. Now that the hammers are destroyed, isn't it safer than bringing them back to Asgard?
The problem with the hammer was solved, and Thor left Richard behind to go find his girlfriend Jane.

It was already dinner time when he saw Thor again. Seeing Thor appear at the table on time, Richard couldn't help but complain: "Thor, I think you shouldn't be called Thor, you should be called Glutton!"

"Richard, this is your misunderstanding of me!" Thor objected loudly.

"Misunderstanding? Then can you put down the dragon rib in your hand?" Richard rolled his eyes.

Thor quickly ate the ribs in his hand, and then said, "Richard, the food here is incredible and delicious. I swear, this is the best food I have eaten in more than a thousand years."

"Can you ask Chef Guan to go to Asgard? I would like to ask him to teach me some cooking skills. After eating the food here, the food made by the chefs in Asgard is completely unpalatable."

"That's wishful thinking. But you can let the chef from Asgard come here to study. I can give you a 10% discount on the tuition, and the payment will be made in Uru metal." "I'll recommend this to His Majesty the God King." Thor finished a piece of ribs in three bites.

Richard's wizard tower is becoming more and more like a wizard academy.

The temple mages work for Richard and earn a lot of points, which they then use to exchange for knowledge, materials, and magical items.

With the help of this system, all the temple mages have become mages of the Motera world. Richard also issued a task for these mages to recruit apprentices.

Richard established a set of academy contracts, and all mages who wanted to learn spell knowledge and obtain various materials must sign the contract.

This contract is similar to the contract of the Motera World Magic Academy, which strictly manages knowledge and does not allow private dissemination of the academy's knowledge. Mage apprentices will have a four-year free period of study here. After four years, they will need to work to repay their debts after becoming formal mages, and the debts will basically take twenty years to repay.

Don't think that twenty years of debt is too much. College loans in America are much more expensive than this. It took O'Heizi 21 years to pay off his loan.

Furthermore, if one purchases more knowledge, conducts various magical experiments, and uses potions, then the repayment will take more time. However, if one does not do these, it will be very difficult for a wizard to advance.

Although the loan needs to be repaid, it is much better than paying it back with one's life before. When Richard thought of this, he felt that he was too kind.

As for whether these wizards will be free in twenty years, Richard would say that you think too simply.

It is difficult for ordinary mages to survive without this place. What is the use of a mage without various magical materials, knowledge, and only mastering some low-level spells?

As long as they still want to be promoted, they can only stay in the Mage Tower and work for Richard, willingly begging Richard to exploit them.

In the Mage Tower, they need points for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Of course, there are some free things, but after being used to eating magic dishes, few people can eat ordinary food. After being used to living in residences with rich elemental energy, they will feel uncomfortable living in ordinary houses.

How does that saying go? You want to be exploited, but you can't even get a number.

These temple mages found some talented children from all over the place. They were the new batch of apprentices in the Mage Academy. There were more children in this batch, more than 300 in total. The one who taught them was a temple mage, and they were basically part-time.

After several years of development, the academy has a sufficient number of teachers. Richard arranged a schedule for the temple, with one or two classes a week. It is more than enough to teach these apprentices through the tower spirits.

The duration of the Mage Academy is four years, and it can be extended for up to one year. If you complete your studies normally, you will basically be a formal mage. Richard plans to continue to expand the number of students after the floating city is built, and recruit mage apprentices every year, so that he can continuously provide him with leeks and cattle and horses.

A floating city needs at least five thousand mages to support it, but this is only the basic requirement. Large floating cities will require tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.

He needs a lot of supplies.
