Chapter 7: Departure, Academy of Light
Mick returns to Mr. Hope's quarters.
"You're mining more and more now. Mr. Hope complimented.
"yes, sometimes I'm afraid you won't need that much. ”
"Haha, if you knew how much iron these iron ores can smelt, you wouldn't say that. Mr. Hope said with a smile.
"By the way, Mr. Hope, I went to Fengdu City before and heard that there is an alchemist who has reached the level of a great grandmaster with alchemy, I see that your alchemy skills are also so good, why don't you go to a larger city to rate?"
Actually, I'm not just an alchemist, I can also say that I'm a forger and a mechanic, and I know a lot of things. It's not that I'm not rated, I'm a master of alchemy, but I don't feel like it's useful, I don't want to play for any country, and I'm not short of money, so I'm fine right now. ”
"It's less of the world's troubles. ”
"Yes, you can watch the sun rise and watch it go down every day. Living an unrestrained life, eating what you want to eat, sitting and wanting to do. I'm satisfied, is there anything better than satisfying myself? I think you'd think that way at your age. ”
Perhaps.
Mr. Hope is a man who has seen the world, he has experienced the baptism of the world, so he wants to live a life of isolation and freedom, but isn't this kind of life that Mick has always lived? If it weren't for Shiasu, maybe Mick would have lived in this life for the rest of his life.
But now it's different, Mick has lived like this since he was a child, and Shiasu grew up in high society, so now Mick doesn't know what kind of life he wants. Even he didn't know what to do with his revenge. Marry Ivy?What should I do?What should I do if I marry Meiya?What should I do with Ivy?What should I do if I marry the two of them?This can be considered!
Mick smiled at the thought of this.
"What are you laughing at?" asked Hope.
"No, Mr. Hope, I found a rock in the mine, what do you see?" Mick suddenly remembered the stone that the queen had given him, and pulled out the stone to show Mr. Hope.
Mr. Hope took it, took it to the workbench and looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass.
"It's not easy. ”
"Really!"
"Well, it's a piece of Mithril ore. ”
"Mithril ore!?" Mick was a little surprised.
"That's right, and judging by the weight, the content of Mithril is not low!"
"yes, that's going to be worth a lot. Mick asked.
"It's worth a lot of money, because after all, it's a big fist, and if you smelt it, you won't have much Mithril left, but you and your little girlfriend's tuition should be settled. There may still be some living expenses left. ”
"Heh, what a rich man! That's a lot!
"Huh, what do you say, what kind of bike do you want?" asked Hope.
"I said it's a lot more than money for me. Mick explained.
Hope nodded.
"By the way, Mr. Hope, do you have a need for Mithril? Tell me if you need it! I'll ..... it Sell it to you cheaper!"
"Hey, I thought you were going to give it to me!"
"Then I can't, after all, it's my tuition. ”
"No need, if you have this heart, you might as well sell it to the Empire of Light. You can also take it directly to the Academy of Light, sell it near the academy, and there are many people who collect Mithril. ”
.........
Mick left Mr. Hope and told Miya the news. Mei Ya was both excited and a little sad to hear the news, because she didn't expect to leave home and Mick to go to the Bright Academy so soon.
"If you're not ready, I can give you a little time. Mick said.
But Meiya shook her head.
"No, I'll just go home and say hello to my parents. ”
"Is that really possible? Can I say it?" Mick was a little worried.
"No, I can. ”
"Okay! I await your good news. ”
The next day, Mick was found.
"Brother Mick, my parents agreed that we should go to the Academy of Light. ”
"That's great, eh...... Why don't you look happy?"
Mick was excited, but he noticed that Mia's expression was stiff.
"My parents agreed that we should go to the Academy of Light, but they wanted money......."
"Money, money, money, but they're not wrong, after all, we don't know how long it will take to come back, maybe by the time we come back, we'll be married, so let's take it as a bride price." ”
"Brother Mick, do you really think so?" Mei Ya was a little moved when she heard this.
"Of course, by the way, how much does your house cost?"
"They didn't say it. ”
"I only have three silver coins now, and I can't get any more. The Mithril ore can't be moved, that's our tuition, so you go back and discuss it again and see if they're satisfied with the three silver coins. ”
"Okay, I'll go back and ask. ”
The next day, Mia brings Mick good news, and her parents agree.
So Middell personally took Mick to Meiya's house to propose. Mei Ya's parents are not stubborn people, they know that Mei Ya must be better than going to Guangming Academy than in this small mountain village, but after all, they are such a daughter, so they must have some pension money after their daughter leaves.
Uncle Middell understands this very well.
And Mei Ya's parents also like Mick very much, and they have long recognized his relationship with Mei Ya, so they don't want to embarrass Mick too much.
After handing over the two silver coins and a hundred or so copper coins to Mia's parents, they said some words to Mick, which were nothing more than taking care of Miya, not letting her suffer, and really if she got married outside, she must send a letter to her family. His parents couldn't help but shed tears as he spoke.
Uncle Middlel also empathizes with them, because he has no children and no daughters, and Mick is such a nephew, and he doesn't even have a wife himself, and he really became an empty nester after Mick left.
Mick was naturally full of promises.
In the end, Mick and Meiya decided to leave in a week, the reason why they chose this time is because the Bright Academy does not recruit students at all times, and there are two fixed enrollment times every year, so they go at the right time, but Mick decided to sell the Mithril ore first, otherwise he will be embarrassed if there is a place to use money along the way.
So take advantage of this week's time Mick has to go to Fengdu City again.
A week passed quickly, and Mick returned from Fengdu City. One piece of Mithril ore sold for twelve silver coins.
In addition to the tuition fees of the two, there are only two silver coins left, because the Bright Academy is in the very center of the Bright Country-Bright City, so the two must go by car, and these two silver coins are barely enough for travel expenses and food, but after arriving at the Bright Academy, they have to find another way.
For the first time, Mick felt that it was so difficult to make money in this small village, and this was on the basis of his own 'adventure', if he didn't get this Mithril mine, then Mick didn't know that he would save until the Year of the Monkey.
The next day, Mick and Meiya packed their bags and prepared to leave, and the whole village came to see them off when they knew that they were going to the Academy of Light, because they were the only two people in the village to leave the village.
Even Kailan, who always said that he had someone in the country of light, had never been out of the village, and he was very excited to see that the two of them were going to Guangming Academy, but he was lazy since he was a child, and he would only steal money from others, so it was impossible for him to make up enough tuition through his own efforts.
In this way, Mick and Meiya set out for the city of Fengdu, where they would catch a ride to the city of light.
After half a day, they finally came to the gate of Fengdu City.
There were many carts at the gates, and of all kinds, including horse-drawn carriages and steam carriages. They can travel to any city in the Land of Light, but the price varies depending on the length of the journey and the vehicle.
For example, the speed of the steam car is about the same as that of the horse-drawn carriage, but it is very stable, so the price is naturally a little more expensive. Naturally, the two would not choose a steam car.
Mick had already inquired that a silver coin was needed to ride the carriage to the Academy of Light, so they headed straight for the carriage.
This carriage is not an ordinary horse, but a low-level Warcraft horse, which is even comparable in size to an elephant. Therefore, the cart can accommodate more people than the ordinary carriage.
"Here it is, lad!"
Since Mick inquired about the price many times, the driver already knew Mick.
