In the Baroque church, the hour hand of the tall bell tower has passed two o'clock, and the whole city of Monique has fallen into a deep sleep.

At this time, in the center of the entire city, at the top of the palace castle of the Jaya Empire, a middle-aged man with a rickety figure was leaning on the balcony railing surrounded by a semicircular guardrail, quietly looking at the southeast corner of the city, letting the cold wind whistle through his cheeks.

"Did you find out why?"

At this time, the middle-aged man raised his head slightly and said. An angular face is revealed under the long gray-yellow hair. On his tense face, two deep eyes appeared, as if a piece of minced meat would be torn off as long as he was targeted.

"Your Majesty, when I rushed over, the Garrod Academy had already subsided, and nothing unusual had been detected. By any measure, this should be a fortuitous situation. ”

At this moment, from the darkest part of the corner, a low, machine-like voice was heard, and gender and age were completely inaudible. Under the cover of night, if you don't come forward to take a closer look, you can't imagine that there is still a person standing here.

"By chance?" the middle-aged man pondered for a moment and continued to look into the distance.

After the atmosphere was silent for a few minutes, the middle-aged man used his hands to pull his long hair back as much as possible, and then spoke again: "If I tell you, it's just in the past few days. Including us, there are several other big cities where the Star Stone has gone berserk, do you still think it's an accident?"

There was no response in the corner of the wall, but the sound of heavy panting showed that his heart was not undisturbed at this time.

"Go far from the guys in the Helios Sect! they never thought of me as a real king. ”

The middle-aged man continued to say word by word.

"Yes, my majesty. ”

The mechanical voice came again, but it was no longer as hasty as before.

"I heard that there was a student next to the Star Stone when there was chaos, and he should have witnessed the whole process, so find a way to ask! Don't use your skills, he is also a gifted magician, and sooner or later he will become the pillar of our Chaya Empire. ”

The middle-aged man finally straightened up and paced on the balcony, he was not tall, but every step he took was extremely powerful.

"Yes, my majesty. ”

Without any hesitation, as if the mechanical voice without emotion sounded again.

For nearly an hour, no conversation could be heard from the balcony.

"It's really a 'poisonous snake', and he doesn't even say hello when he leaves. ”

The middle-aged man stretched out his hands comfortably, then tightened his pajamas made of top-quality ferret fur, and grumbled as he walked towards his bedroom.

"It's really cold, look at it like this, it's going to change the sky. ”

......

The next day, the morning sun spilled into the entire city of Monique, and the sunlight pierced the silence of the night like a sharp spear.

Garod Academy, covered in a faint mist, gradually woke up with the hazy city of Monique.

Today is the official registration day of Garrod College, and it is conceivable that the streets near the entrance of the academy will soon be full of traffic.

The nobles of the palace would ride in various types of carriages, competing and showing off their family wealth and honor in the name of registration. Highlight the dignity of the so-called nobles and the glory of the knights.

Ives got up early in the morning and left the dormitory, following the Akt custom. I want to take advantage of the congestion to go around the city and feel the surrounding situation. Look where there will be a church, where there will be a historical research office, where there will be a Shuwu guild, or a folk research institute, and more importantly, where you can play with guns.

The original owner, Avis, is obsessed with magic and has been studying at Garold Academy for 4 years, but he has not really visited the number one city in the Blood Flame Continent. Don't even know where to have a delicious breakfast.

"Mr. Avis, where are we going now? I heard from the guy in our dormitory earlier that today is the official reporting day, and even the royal family of the Jaya Empire will come, so everyone should be gathered in the classroom and waiting for the arrangement. ”

Chirivel was also pulled out of the academy by Avis, who was babbling about some of the latest news he had just heard in his dorm.

"My dear little Chiri, none of those things matter. ”

Ives didn't want to explain too much. Just a school opening ceremony, where are so many twists and turns, so that those who want to cling to the relationship can be entangled.

"Oh, so where are we going now?"

Probably because they were from the Ackert tribe, Chirivel didn't care much about the so-called upper nobility. Since Mr. Ives said it didn't matter, it certainly didn't matter.

"Find a place to have breakfast first! I heard that you can eat the most authentic milk oatmeal in the market in the middle of the city. If we're lucky, we can also make some cakes and taste them. ”

When it came to food, Ives swept away the gloom and confusion that had been in place for many days, after all, he hadn't eaten a decent meal since he crossed over.

"Will that be expensive?"

As soon as Chirivel on the side finished listening, he couldn't hold back his saliva.

Milk!oatmeal!cake!

These are all foods that I have only seen in books, and I think these are things that only nobles would enjoy.

"Well, it's really not cheap, I think it will cost dozens of copper coins!"

Ives didn't think about it and replied casually.

"My God, Mr. Avis, let's eat bread. For 20 copper coins, you can buy a lot of black bread, enough for us to eat for several days. ”

Chiriwell was suddenly scared into a cold sweat, 20 copper coins can only be eaten for one meal, what a luxury it must be.

"Hey, my little Chiri, since you're following me now, you're going to get used to eating something good. Haha, what's more, I still haven't picked up the extra pen. Eating a cake, nothing remarkable. ”

With a smile on his face, Ives patted Cirivel on the shoulder heavily, unusually confident.

......

"What???A piece of oatmeal costs 1 silver coin and 30 copper coins, why don't you grab it?"

Ives couldn't control his emotions and shouted excitedly in front of the vendors in a market.

"Dear Sir, if you think the price is high, please think again. You can make a customer behind you. ”

A middle-aged shopkeeper squinted his eyes and glanced at Avis, and said painlessly.

"Your price is outrageous. ”

The oatmeal porridge, which far exceeded the psychological price of Avis, made the young magician extremely crazy.

This time he went out, considering that the tribe had just spent a lot of pensions, Avis only took 10 silver coins as pocket money. In his impression, it seemed that the original owner spent a semester, in addition to the cost of magic materials, only about 10 silver coins.

It was time for breakfast, and some well-to-do families lined up in front of this famous stall early, no less than the gate of Garrod College.

"Hey, front, if you can't afford it, get out of the way. Uncle Rhodes is the younger brother of King Charles' royal cook, and it is the greatest sin not to be grateful to us for the most delicious oatmeal. If you make any more trouble, I'll call the Guardian Knight right away. ”

At this time, a light female voice came from behind Avis, who seemed very impatient.

"No, I'm not reasoning. You'll wait a minute. ”

Ives turned around and wanted to theorize, but he almost blurted out, isn't there a price bureau here?

It's just that when Ives just turned his head to question behind him, the whole person was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously looked left and right, quickly sorted out his appearance, and hurriedly said:

"Ma'am, no, beautiful young lady, you may have misunderstood me. ”
