Originally founded in the Second Age as a water fortress in the south of the Griffon Empire to defend against chaos, the city survived the fall of the empire and survived the wars of the long Third Age, slowly developing into the free and trading capital it is today.

Of course, this is inseparable from its ideal location: it is located in the southwest of the Emerald Plain, bordering the developed Gesok Empire to the north, several smaller countries including the Duchy of Lothar to the south, and to the west it can travel up the river to the vast Meesh Forest, where there are many druid and elven cities, and to the east the river joins the Long Lake and then connects to the sea, where countless seaborne supplies are loaded into airships through the airport and transported to the interior of the continent.

Even with the mysterious kingdom of the dead in the southwest, there is also trade dealings.

Not to mention the well-developed water conservancy system, which drives the huge machinery in the airport and the city, greatly reducing the demand for magic crystal cards and saving a lot of costs.

Morin had just left the airship and was in the middle of a tall tower that formed the airport, and he was amazed by the passing airships and the endless flow of people. The green-skinned goblins are undoubtedly the most, they are shorter than Morin, and most of them are driving magical mechanical vehicles to carry goods, and the few extraordinarily tall people in the distance, it should be the Kadir people, and Barron is a race, and the two people wearing white cloaks who are leaning on the edge of the guardrail are actually two male forest elves, the young man couldn't help but widen his blue eyes, and secretly admired in his heart, sure enough, as the book says, the elves are an extraordinarily elegant race.

As for the timid Black Fire, in such a crowded place, he hid in the ink-colored ring marks as usual, exchanging moods with the boy with only the slightest spiritual connection. Feeling the excitement of the teenager, he was also very curious about the surrounding environment, but after all, he couldn't resist the fear and still couldn't hide.

Hundreds of meters tall along the cliffs, the towers are divided into dozens of floors, with a large number of ancillary structures and machinery on the outside for different types of airships, and a large number of warehouses and escalators up and down to transport pedestrians and goods. Although the small airship docked in the middle of the tower, it was enough to take in the nearby waterfall and the city.

As for the fact that Morin was found when he came down from the lookout, and then educated by the goblin captain's blowing beard and glaring, the young mind has long forgotten about it.

He followed the crowd to the escalator, hesitated, flashed to the side, and took out the Envelope of Elluvita Academy from his bosom, ready to confirm the Academy's proposal first. Of course, the other hand was still holding the small white flower and smelling it, and in a crowded place, he felt that it was better to hold such a valuable thing in his hand.

Three days have passed since he woke up after being knocked unconscious by the cursed magic of the vicious old man, and although Morin feels that his mental trauma has healed, he still feels a dull pain in his head as long as he can't smell the scent of the Star of Elekepeia for a short time.

There were three sheets of paper in the envelope, and in addition to a brief admission notice, there were two long appendices, which he held and read silently.

……

Dear Mr. Maureen-Calland,

First of all, congratulations on your acceptance into the great Eluvita Academy, here are some requirements and suggestions, please read them carefully.

……

Twenty-seven: The college is located on a high ground and the winter is very cold, so it is recommended that you bring enough warm clothes. During the semester, new students are not allowed to leave the school. The college only sells uniform uniforms, and believe me, it doesn't do much to keep you warm.

……

Forty-two: Some courses require students to have their own practice wands or weapons, as well as some common basic magic cards, which can be purchased in big cities, and are also available in schools but are much more expensive. Another small reminder is that you can get a discount on buying basic cards as a set, so remember to bargain with the merchants.

……

XLVII: Please note that students in Grade 3 and below are not allowed to bring magical devices with a power of more than ten energy levels.

……

Energy level is a unit of measurement of power in a shattered world, indicating the total amount of mana consumed by a magic device over a certain period of time. Common lighting crystals, such as the one on top of Baron Pike's study, are only about a tenths of an energy level.

Merlin looked down at the strange musket on his waist, thinking that the power of this gun must have exceeded ten energy levels, I don't know if it counts as a magic device, but it has been brought out anyway, and there is no way to take it home. He sorted out his letterhead, determined what he needed to buy, and was about to enter the escalator, when he retreated again.

Because he found that he was not familiar with Sororumi, although he had read books about Sororumi as a child, they were all about history, and as for the street shops that sold school supplies, the boy had no clue, and Papa Pike did not tell him before leaving.

He looked around, and suddenly saw a figure about his height not far away, wearing an old gray cloak, unwrapped, also alone, and seemed to be checking something.

So Morin walked over and asked from behind, "Do you know where there is a store that sells student supplies, and how do I get there?"

The man in the gray cloak in front of him turned around in fright, and the boy realized that it was a girl about his age. She had a young face, shoulder-length brown hair, and a few bright red streaks of blood in her big brown eyes, as if she hadn't rested for a long time.

The immature face was frightened, his hands were hidden in the cloak, obviously startled by Morin's sudden inquiry, and it seemed that he saw Morin's appearance as a young man, and eased slightly, but his eyes still showed nervousness.

And Morin was also startled by the girl in front of him.

Because apart from the bloodshot in her eyes, there was not a trace of blood on the girl's pale face. In addition, the thick fatigue under her eyes, as well as the beads of sweat on her forehead, were like a terminally ill person who was about to die.

Merlin adjusted his expression, trying not to let his surprise appear, and asked slowly, "You look weak, are you okay?"

Hearing the boy's words, the girl stared at him carefully with her big brown eyes, and found that the boy had very clear dark blue eyes, but then noticed that he was actually smelling a small white flower, and frowned, showing an expression of disgust.

When he saw her gaze shift to the flower in his hand, Maureen realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.

The girl shook her head quickly, then turned and ran into the crowd. In the blink of an eye, the small figure disappeared from the young man's field of vision.

"Hey......" Morin seemed to want to say something more, but he had lost the girl's trace, so he had no choice but to give up.

He looked at the Star of Electepia in his hand with some misery, and secretly cursed that the vicious old man was chased by Mr. Honorome, and then arrested and interrogated. After thinking about it, and shaking his head for some reason, he also followed the flow of people up the elevator and decided to go to the city to ask for directions.

……

……

It was a street seven or eight meters wide, densely populated with people and a large number of horse-drawn carriages, and occasionally more peculiar mounts such as large green lizards or creaking mechanical birds, and the streets were lined with shops of all kinds, most of whom came and went were people between the ages of ten and twenty, the younger ones were often accompanied by their parents, and the larger ones wandered alone, but they all carried large and small packages.

At this time, the sun had turned to the west, and the young man in black civilian clothes was resting on the street corner breathlessly, compared to before, in addition to the large brown bag on his back, Morin had a large box in his hand, which looked quite heavy, and he didn't know what it contained.

Since the development of the Broken World, no matter what the plane, the inheritance of knowledge has been very important. In Toddell, since the Holy Alliance stabilized the situation on the continent at the end of the Third Age, new academies of all sizes have been established in various places. Not only magic academies or military academies, but also other more subdivided schools, which teach more practical knowledge for civilians, such as agricultural production, building construction, and the use of machinery. At the same time, there are quite a few libraries open to the common people.

Money and land may belong only to individuals, but knowledge should belong to every soul who pursues them. This is the inscription that is engraved on the main entrances of all libraries.

After resting for a while, Maureen stood up, dragging the box, ready to find a place to sell practice wands. Since he trusted his grandfather's judgment, he tried to become a mage even if he couldn't use magic cards, the boy thought firmly. He left the armory window, walked past a few shops, and suddenly stopped.

In front of me was a large shop, twice the size of the others, and the most people came and went, and hundreds of magic cards were placed in the large window. Magic cards are built with spell models, which will show a very specific dynamic spell image on the front. Hundreds of spell cards were neatly arranged, from white cards to pale yellow cards to dark yellow cards, each with a different spell image, like thousands of worlds reflected in the young man's blue eyes.

At this moment, Morin's heart moved.

Yes, who wouldn't want to unleash powerful magic by gently fiddling with the cards between your fingers. No complicated spells, no messy materials, just a small card, simplicity and power are so perfect.

But then came the sad truth that he couldn't use magic cards.

"I won't buy the basic cards yet, and I can't use them anyway, I just hope that when I get to Iluvita Academy, with the help of those teachers, I might be able to find out what went wrong......," the boy thought slowly, dragging his luggage and drifting away.

After searching for a long time, he finally found an inconspicuous shop in an inconspicuous corner, with a dusty window with several wooden wands taller than Morin, and an old sign that read: Beginner and Intermediate Wands for Sale. The mahogany door was ajar enough for only one person to pass through, and in fact, he didn't see anyone in front of the shop, and the wand seemed to be unpopular compared to other supplies.

Morin slowly walked through the door, and the first thing he saw was the wands piled up like debris, bundles of wands of different sizes and materials arranged in bundles in the shop, like a jumble of shrubs in the field. The harsh afternoon sun could not penetrate the dust from the windows, and the room was dim, and an old man with a goatee was sitting behind a black counter.

The old man was dressed in a gray robe, his white beard was curled, and his slender fingers were holding a carving knife, and he was carving a slender piece of wood. Noticing Mo Lin, the old man put down the materials in his hand and said with some joy: "Aha, another one." Are you going to the Royal Academy of Gesok or the Academy of Chanting Magic, or are you going to ......" The old man looked at the boy and continued excitedly as if he had won the lottery...... Illuvita Academy, right?!"

Without waiting for the young man to answer, the old man said to himself: "There are not many academies that require wands nowadays, everyone likes magic cards, simple and rude, maybe those powerful wands are still in demand, but these entry-level wands for students are indeed selling day by day." ”

After speaking, the old man sighed, and said, "But it's really rare for two freshmen from Illuvita Academy to visit in a row, and I don't say hello to your classmates yet." With that, the old man glanced at the corner of the room with his eyes, revealing a sly expression.

Following the old man's gaze, Morin realized that there was another boy in the shop, who had not noticed it at all because of the dim light and cluttered furnishings.

The boy was about the same age as Maureen, with blond hair and black eyes, dressed in a gorgeous sky blue robe, carrying a small bag, and with a thick pride on his face, picking among a bundle of wands about the height of his own.

Hearing the old man's voice, the blonde boy turned his head to look at Morin, glanced at him with indifferent eyes, stopped for a moment on the coat of arms of his black civilian clothes, slowly stretched out his hand, and said arrogantly: "Lothar? at least a nobleman." I am the third son of the Grand Duke of Maple Leaf of the Gesok Empire, Marcas Mipuou. ”

Maureen felt a little awkward, because this boy, who was only slightly taller than himself, looked at him as if he was condescending, and the expression on his face was even more arrogant and haughty, and he was holding the Star of Electric Pea in his right hand, and he didn't know whether to shake hands with him for a while.

Just then, a figure in an old gray cloak walked into the shop.
