Chapter 46 What happened back then

In the magic tower, the three magicians have not informed the students of the next test to enter.

The freshmen waiting for the test outside the field just waited, but no one dared to express any dissatisfaction. Unlike Arthur, these children of wealthy nobles have already found out the identities of the three people in the tower.

These three people are the three peaks in the magic field of Guano Academy. The short magician with the red nose is the deputy dean of the academy, the twelfth-level great magician Helix, known as "Old Harry". The tall magician next to him is the great magician Austin, who is known as "Thunder" in the kingdom. As for the other one, he is only a visiting professor at the college in name, but he is a guest of His Majesty Stacey.

There was silence in the tower for a long time. The hot-tempered Austin was the first to speak, "Don't tell me you didn't notice the sword behind his back? And his surname is Shield."

Old Harry stroked his gray beard and said slowly: "Of course I noticed it, but I just didn't understand what this kid Keynes was doing? He obviously taught him fighting spirit and martial arts, but asked him to learn magic, and it was fire and wind. A dual-system magician?"

 "Haha, I didn't expect Keynes's son to be so old?"

"It's not Keynes's son. He has only left the royal city for a few years. He would not have such an old son, and he doesn't look like him."

"That must be an illegitimate child. When he was in the academy, he loved to sneak into the rooms of female students. He caused a lot of romantic debts back then."

 "Ha ha..."

Two great magicians who were highly respected in front of outsiders chatted about the charm of their disciples back then.

 "You're not serious!" The magician on the right who had been silent all this time suddenly spat, and it turned out to be a beautiful female voice.

 The chat came to an abrupt end.

Arthur naturally had no idea that so many stories had happened after he left.

 He found the Finance Office and reluctantly handed over three crystal coins, and then received a hospital uniform. The color of the clothes is the same as the professor's, which are gold and red. The difference is that the magician students wear one-piece robes, while the warrior students wear separate upper and lower clothes.

Arthur couldn't tell the material of the robe, but it felt smooth to the touch, and there were two first-level magic circles attached to it. A water-based cleaning magic, dust and stains cannot adhere to it, and a fire-based heating magic, you will not feel cold even in winter. Although these two useless magics are useless in battle, they are the favorites of many nobles and rich people. Such robes on the market are worth at least a hundred gold coins. This made Arthur feel a little relieved, and he finally recovered some of the cost.

The staff of the Finance Department entered a room number into Arthur's Blood Glory Token, and the magic map immediately showed the location of the room, and the token became the room key.

Couldn't help but let Arthur marvel at the magic of magic skills.

According to the location shown on the magic map, Arthur easily found the magic tower where his room was located. There is a new unified accommodation area, with seven seven-story magic towers of quaint style standing staggered.

 Entering the tower, there are four rooms on each floor, and each student has his own separate room. Following the spiral staircase, Arthur came to the door of 701, waved the token in his hand against the keyhole, and the door opened by itself, and the soft magic light lit up.

 The room is seventy or eighty square meters. In addition to the bedroom, there is also a dedicated living room and study room. In the middle of the study is a large sandalwood desk, and next to it is a wall of bookshelves. The number of books in the magician's collection largely represents the magician's knowledge and attainments in magic, but the bookshelves are still completely empty.

 As his fingers slid across the smooth wood grain of the desk, Arthur was a little lost in thought. He had never lived in such a nice room since he was a child. Thinking of the dirty orc camp where he once lived, this was paradise!

 As Arthur lay on the large, soft bed, he felt more at ease than ever before. The fatigue from the journey came over him, and he slowly closed his eyes.

I don't know how long he slept, but Arthur suddenly woke up, and his first reaction was to reach out and touch the sword.

 When he grabbed the hilt of the sword, he slowly let go. Children who grow up in crisis are always filled with uneasiness.

 After this, Arthur could no longer sleep. Although the first year's tuition is settled, what will happen in the following years? He will have to study here for five years before he can graduate. Fifteen thousand gold coins is an astronomical figure for Arthur.

 He sat up from the bed, shook out the packages he carried with him, and began to pack his belongings.

Arthur doesn't have many possessions. In addition to the second-level mercenary leather armor he wears, the second-level cyan cloak and the third-level enchanted leather boots, he also carries an unknown giant sword, a sophisticated hunting knife, and It's just a bunch of small things, including the white pendant and bronze mercenary badge given by Keynes, two ledgers left by Randall, a wrinkled letter of recommendation, two crystal coins, 117 gold coins and 23 silver coins.

 This was all Arthur's possessions.

Arthur was stunned for a while looking at these things, then collected them one by one, then opened the door and walked out.

With a few days left before the official start of school, Arthur decided to go out for a walk. From now on, he will prepare for the tuition and living expenses in the next few years...

On the mountainside of Lazaro Mountain, a huge palace complex stands alone, and above it is the snow line of Lazaro Mountain.

Deep in the palace, in a simple and elegant side room, a middle-aged man wearing a loose brocade robe is leaning on a star-carved wooden couch, his eyes slightly closed, holding a teacup in his hand and sipping gently, the aroma of the tea is It has filled the entire side room.

The person on the couch is none other than His Majesty Stacey, the current king of the Kingdom of Isaac. Stacey ascended the throne at the age of twenty-two and has been in power for twenty years. He is now in his prime.

Beside Stacey's couch, there was a fat man with a white face and no beard standing bowed. The man had a respectful and careful look on his face.

"There have been a lot of movements in the church recently?" Stacey asked casually.

"I heard that it was because of a dark mage that not only failed to capture anyone, but also lost a team of disciplinary knights. Archbishop So this was not very happy."

"I'm not just unhappy. Losing a team of disciplinary knights is a small matter, but hurting face is a big deal. So this's ambitions are not just on our Isaac side."

 When it comes to the above matters, men don't dare to intervene. After thinking about it for a moment, he said carefully: "Because of this incident, the church arrested many people."

Stretch waved his hand, "Forget it, let So this vent his anger. As long as they don't go too far, don't break up with them for the time being."

 "There is one more thing, I don't know whether I should say it?"

"Jace, you are an intelligence manager, don't look forward and backward, just say it, I will make the final decision."

"Your Majesty is blaming it. In fact, it's just a small thing. Huey took the entrance test of Guano Academy today."

Stacey didn't react for a moment, "Who is Huey?"

 "Prince Rex..." Jace reminded.

Stacey reacted instantly, and his tone became colder, "This Rex is really fooling around. He got real feelings for a female orc, and now he wants to get a knighthood for an orc? You can do this. Do it, we can't set a precedent for the knighthood of half-orcs!"

Jace bowed his head and promised.

"Be careful how you act. Last time, the female orc caused a gap between Rex and me, the brother. This time, we must not let Rex have any grudges again." Stacey warned again.
