Chapter Forty-Seven: A Strange Abode

PS: After breakfast, I ran into two sisters on the way back to the dormitory in Area B. Ask me where is the cafeteria in Area A, and in the face of my sister's pure and expectant eyes, how can I refuse? The tiger's body shook and pointed in one direction, and now I look back in the dormitory and think that something is wrong, it seems to be Area C...... I hope they're not my readers......

Seeing the eyebrows and eyes of the statue of Akalan, Xia Yi was already sure that it was the great lich of the Forsaken Lands! No wonder she had a sense of déjà vu.

Unexpectedly, as a wise man, Akaran actually betrayed their god of light and became an undead creature, what kind of uproar should this news cause if it appeared on the mainland?

Xia Yi was not stupid enough to say this, even if he didn't drown in human spit, he would be crushed to death by the fat man next to him, who weighed three hundred pounds.

"Miss Chailly? Shay? Let's go! Madeh interrupted Shay's distraction, "It's getting late. ”

Xia Yi nodded, and followed Made's way to the residence of the Mage Academy, and when she looked back, she saw the afterglow of the setting sun shining on the five stone statues, looking lonely and desolate......

When Xia Yi approached the dean's research room, a refreshing coolness came to his face, and the humidity around him was much higher, Xia Yi guessed that this was due to the ** master, and there must be a lot of water materials in his research room, which caused the surrounding water elements to be much richer.

"Teacher, I'm back, there are no suitable servants in the slave market, but I've brought something back, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

Ma De went straight to the point, he didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of the ** teacher, and the dean's time was very precious.

This lab is much more luxurious than Pipiru's Mage Tower! Xia Yi admired, Pipiru is some hand-made bottles and cans, a lot of tattered, the dean's research room only has large instruments, all occupy half of the space!

There is also a large cabinet with a number of medicines on display, and a note is attached to the medicine indicating its name and function.

At this time, the dean was on the edge of the windowsill, adjusting the potion, and the medicine was fused together, and smoke came out. The dean was dressed in a white mage robe and a hat, and his figure was very ordinary, but it was very in line with the image of a mage.

Don't underestimate this white robe, only the ** master level is eligible to wear this robe, both the mage and the apprentice can only wear the gray robe, of which the apprentice can only wear the gray robe at the formal ceremony, and it is forbidden at other times. The exception to this is Made, who is both a mage and an assistant, so he usually wears casual clothes.

The dean turned around and smiled, with a mouthful of old yellow and black teeth, obvious age spots on his skin, and his skin was wrinkled like tree bark, but his complexion was still quite good, and with a white beard, he looked like a kind old man.

"Let me see what surprises you have brought me this time." The dean's voice had begun to age hoarsely, but it sounded not harsh, a little soft.

The old mage picked up a staff and used it as a crutch, straightened up slightly to show solemnity, and took the initiative to greet: "Hello, young man, I am Pobu, which sounds like a stupid name. ”

Shi Pobu, as his name suggests, was an honest and diligent man during his apprenticeship and was easy-going with anyone. At that time, Pob was laughed at because of the name, and it sounded like it was given to someone with Parkinson's disease, reminiscent of drooling dementia.

The pronunciation of "Bo Servant" means madness in ancient language.

Ma De took the initiative to introduce: "This is Miss Shay, teacher, I said, you don't have to take the initiative to introduce yourself every time, you are the dean of the Mage Academy!" Besides, Shay is your admirer! ”

Xia Yixin said, fortunately, you introduced yourself, otherwise I still don't know your name.

"That's right, Master Pob."

Xia Yi was still a little cramped in the face of a powerful old man, and the dean liked her very much, and Pobu preferred to be called a mage rather than the dean.

"Teacher, look at this, this is what Xia Yi brought to you."

Madea handed the Philosopher's Stone to the old mage, and his faint old eyes immediately lit up, and he held the Philosopher's Stone in the palm of his hand, brought it to his nose to look at it carefully, and then pinched it in his hand and rubbed it, as if he had obtained a beloved treasure.

"Oh! It turned out to be a water-based magic stone, which is too precious! ”

The dean couldn't put it down, he lifted his staff and said, "Look, I've collected a water-based magic stone, Xia Yi, you've done me a great favor!" ”

The Dean's staff, made of a dark walnut, was inlaid with a water-based magic stone on top, only slightly larger than Xia Yi's, and Xia Yi's magic stone was only the size of his thumb, which was already precious.

With the exception of Mithril, walnut is considered to be the most mana-friendly material on the continent, and almost all staffs are made of walnut. Mithril and silver ore are so rare that a hair-sized Mithril is a treasure for mages, let alone the luxury of making staffs.

"Shay, to show my gratitude...... the old mage thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have much gold, so if you have anything to worry about, I'll do my best to help you." Or, I don't have anything here that you like, I can give it to you. ”

Ma Dezhi said, the old mage is telling the truth, the funds of the mage academy, except for the tuition fees, all rely on the old mage to find a way to raise it himself, and occasionally there are funds from the kingdom, especially the decline of the academy in recent years, and the nobles are not as willing to invest gold coins as before.

The dean can be said to be the poorest ** master in history, and his belongings are already stretched, so the dean does not have his own manor, and he lives in the mage college. And only one of Made's assistants, even the servants, had to go and buy the inferior servants of the slave market.

Xia Yi guessed from these embarrassments of the dean, and she didn't expect to exchange the Philosopher's Stone for gold coins.

"It's the first time I've come to the royal capital, and I haven't settled yet, so Master Pobu, I hope to have a place to live, even a poor dormitory in the academy."

Skeletons don't need to sleep, but Shay doesn't want to be on the streets.

The old dean breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Xia Yi would make a difficult request, so he said heartily: "This is very simple, Made, you go and clean the noble dormitory area now, the nearest house, take Xia Yi to live there." ”

The old mage was not a man of words, but he was very cheerful, and after a few words of conversation, he immediately asked Mader to take Shay to his lodgings.

Chay's residence, at the end of the aristocratic quarters, was a small courtyard. This dormitory area is all solitary, each with a set of rooms, which is requested by the nobles, who do not want to mix with the commoners, let alone let their descendants suffer in the academy.

When entering the small courtyard, Xia Yi saw five or six apprentices gathered behind him, pointing at the small courtyard, with a different color in his eyes, looking at Xia Yi's eyes, some doubts, some gloating, making Xia Yi scratch his head.

The small courtyard was already spacious for a single person, and it was so quiet that it didn't look like an academy. There is also a small patio in the vestibule, and plants are planted in the flower beds, but unfortunately unlike other places, the flowers and plants in this yard seem to have no one to prune them, and they have grown into weeds.

"Made, it seems like no one has lived here for a long time? The dormitory next door seems to be deserted. Shay raised the doubts in his heart.

"Ho!" Ma De brought a bucket of water, tired and sweaty, the whole person was like fat in a frying pot, "Are those delicate and expensive noble young masters and young ladies, they are too timid to live at the end of the dormitory, this kind of person also wants to become a mage?" Humph......"

Shay helped Mader scrub the furniture in the room together, it was not a complicated job, the decoration in the room was very simple, a single bed, a desk, plus a cabinet, and Made didn't know where to get new quilts and sheets.

During this time, Madea also went out to lie down and brought a dinner from the college's civilian cafeteria, the main dish was steamed potatoes, a slice of roasted meat, and some broad beans and vegetables.

In the dark, Xia Yi felt that there was something else hidden in Made's words, this noble dormitory was not so simple, and there were apprentices with strange eyes outside. But neither the old mage nor Made's had a reason to harm themselves.

"Made, do you need any special conditions to enter Holy Street?"

Shay asked, Mondo was in the middle of the Holy Street, and from the Marquis's mouth, she learned that the Holy Street seemed to be only accessible to the faithful, and that it was patrolled by paladins with very tight handles.

"Huh?"

Made's eyes were squeezed into gaps by fat and looked at Xia Yi, as if she was a little displeased, and said, "You're going to Holy Street?" The territory of the gods, what are you doing there? ”

Divine sticks?

Where did Xia Yi know that the mages believed in the gods of the world, but they were not followers of the Illuminati. Their mana is drawn from the elements, and they borrow the power of the elemental gods.

The Cult of Light occasionally performed miracles and gained the loyalty of countless followers. Especially in the past hundred years, the power of the Illuminati Sect has been strong enough to represent the entire human race, which is also the reason for the decline of the mage. Under the deterrence of the Illuminati, the mages did not dare to have any objections, and even some mage apprentices announced that they had become members of the Illuminati.

This is the contradiction between the mage and the Illuminati, the Pope is the most honorable person of the human race, even the old abbot Pobu, and he can only be subordinate, so Mader can be described as hateful and hateful to the Illuminati.

"Visit, I want to go in and visit." Shay lied.

"There is nothing to see, a group of liars talk all day long about the glory of our lord, the glory of the god of light...... It's all sticks. ”

As she spoke, Made's eyes rolled as she mimicked the pastors' movements as they preached.

"It's not early, Xia Yi, you rest early, good night." After Made's greeting, she left humming the opera.

It was already pitch black outside the window, and Shay lit half of the candle, which was the one left in the room, with a lot of wax tears and dust stuck to it. She was lying on the bed, worried, and the autumn wind was blowing, and the room was ringing???? The sound is like a moth flapping its wings in its ears.

It seemed that it was the sound of the pages turning, and the sound was so real that Xia Yi hallucinated, and thought that someone was reading quietly by the windowsill, in the moonlight......
