0165 Slums
Word of what had happened at the magic potion auction soon spread throughout the imperial capital, and countless people, both commoners and nobles, were struggling to sleep at the Academy, as they all wanted to get a letter of admission to the Academy.
The magical inheritance of the Sauron plane is very ancient, except for some legendary magicians who have a systematic inheritance, other magicians travel everywhere, and only after discovering some gifted students will they be included in the magic net to learn magic......
Even some magicians with strange personalities don't plan to take apprentices at all, after such magicians die, there may be some lucky ones who find their magic notes and embark on the road of magic, otherwise this kind of magician dies and the inheritance will be broken!
In addition to some big nobles and hidden families, they may have a systematic magic inheritance, and some ordinary nobles can only get some ordinary magic books, which are not systematic at all, and it is very difficult to get ahead!
However, now Louis actually wants to run the magic academy that has long existed in name only in the imperial capital, and has also invited the court magicians of the Black Tower to join, which simply set off a calm storm in the entire imperial capital.
You must know that most nobles know that in addition to having an earl status, Louis was also named a court magician by Mosdaq XXIV, which means that Louis has at least more than 50 magicians to use, at least the magic academy will have more than 50 teachers......
With more than 50 teachers as teachers, as long as you are not completely untalented in magic, you can become a magic apprentice!
............
In a slum in the imperial capital.
In a muddy alley filled with a stench everywhere, a young man who was as thin as a match, with slender limbs and a face yellowed from long-term malnutrition, looked around very vigilantly, looked around for a long time, and then cautiously came to a dilapidated house and walked in.
And in this room, there was a thin and weak little girl with a pair of bright eyes, and when the little girl saw the young man walk in, she greeted him directly, and shouted, "Brother Arthur, you are here......
Arthur looked at his own biological sister, his eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of love and helplessness, and carefully took out a piece of swarthy bread from his arms, and said in a tone full of love: "Saori, eat quickly!"
Saori's eyes flashed with joy, but after thinking about it, she turned around and found two broken bowls from the ground, poured a bowl of very cherished water, handed it to Arthur, and said very sensibly: "Brother Arthur, let's eat together!"
Arthur swallowed a mouthful of saliva without a trace, took his eyes off the piece of black bread with difficulty, and said in a trembling tone: "I have already eaten it, this piece of black bread is still for you to eat! Brother is not hungry!"
Grunt, a hungry sound spread throughout the room, making the atmosphere awkward.
A mist appeared in Saori's eyes, but she still broke the black bread that Arthur gave her, handed the larger part to Arthur, and also gave Arthur a bowl of water, her big shining eyes were full of determination!
Seeing this, Arthur stopped holding on, snatched the smaller black bread from Saori's hand and exchanged it with the larger black bread in his hand, and said, "Give you the big one! After all, I am a boy after all, I can bear it!"
Saori took the piece of black bread, which was not much softer than wood, and put it in the water for a long time, and only after soaking it softly did she nibble on it in small bites......
"Saori, I heard that His Excellency the court magician Elaine Grand Magician is going to start recruiting students for the magic academy in the imperial capital, if the magic talent is strong enough, you can be exempted from tuition and all tuition and miscellaneous fees to study, and there is a subsidy of three silver coins to one gold coin per week, today is the time to take the test, I want to give it a try!"
Arthur slowly stretched out his hands full of scars, as a low-level person, Arthur relied on his hands to steal something to be able to feed him and his sister, and in the imperial capital, once he was found to be a thief, it was possible to be killed on the spot!
Arthur once saw a thief stealing into the nobleman's body, and after being caught by the nobleman, he was beaten to death, and the body was thrown directly into the stinking ditch......
Arthur was almost killed because of a mistake, so there was almost no good meat on his body!
When Saori heard Arthur's words, she looked at Arthur with a look of adoration, and said in a tone full of encouragement: "Brother Arthur, you are the best!
Arthur nodded heavily, touched the yellow hair of the yarn, a trace of distress flashed in his heart, and said slowly: "Let's go together! In this way, maybe one of our brothers and sisters has a talent for magic? As long as we can join the magic academy, our fate can be changed." ”
When Saori heard this, a flash of fear flashed in her eyes, and she said in a trembling tone, "But, but...... Brother Arthur, didn't you say that it was dangerous out there? Last time Tina was captured, no one knew...... I'm afraid!"
Living in the slums carries the risk of people going missing from time to time, especially the little girls who are taken away and either sold or reduced to the kind of people who do the meat business, and basically end their lives to be ruined.
Arthur's previous cautious actions were to prevent his sister Saori from being captured, which would be a disaster for both him and Saori......
"Come, put on this outfit, so that we will not be afraid!" Arthur took out a black robe that he had picked up and sewn, and it was prepared for an action like today!
Saori put on the black robe that could completely cover her whole body, and the lower half of the robe was directly dragged to the ground.
Arthur cautiously opened the door, looked left and right, and beckoned to Saori before daring to step out of the room.
Saori followed Arthur like a little tail, following Arthur carefully through the slums, avoiding all kinds of people, and after passing through one alley after another, Arthur took Saori to the only way out of the slums.
However, suddenly, a voice full of banter came into Arthur's ears: "Yo! Isn't this Arthur? Where do you want to go? Tell me about your big brother Bobby!"
A middle-aged man with a thin body and a withered face suddenly walked out of the shadows on the side, blocking the path of the Arthur brothers and sisters, revealing a sneer.
When Arthur saw the man, his eyes shrank slightly, a trace of fear flashed, his hand flipped over, and suddenly a dagger appeared on his right hand, if he wanted to survive in the slums, it was impossible to survive without a few hands!
This middle-aged man's name is Bobby, he is famous in the slums, nicknamed Wild Dog, he is a human trafficker, a member of the black chess pieces known for human trafficking, and many girls in the slums have been taken away to have a great connection with this Bobbie.
Therefore, the people in the slums hate the wild dogs and the black chess pieces behind them, but no matter what, they are just a pauper!
There's no way to take wild dogs and black chess pieces!
As long as the black chess pieces do not enter the imperial capital and do not offend the nobles, the patrols in the imperial capital will not treat them at all.
Arthur had a gloomy face, and said in a cold tone: "Bobby, get out of the way, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
In the slums, the weak will only be bullied worse, and they must learn to be tough, and they must not let anyone who shows cowardice, otherwise countless wild dogs that smell blood will pounce on them and bite them to pieces!
Poppy smiled contemptuously, and also took out a dagger, this dagger was like an extension of Poppy's arm, as if it had life, and said in a vicious tone: "You little brute! You dare to play with the dagger in front of my wild dog Bobby, it seems that you are really looking for death! You must know that there are no more than three people who can play daggers with my wild dog Bobbi in the entire slum!"
Bobby licked the blade of the dagger with some excitement, and said with a hint of excitement, "Presumably this is your Arthur's sister Saori!" hahaha...... I've been known for a long time, but I didn't expect to see it today, and it seems that today is the lucky day for my wild dog Bobby!"
Saori's petite body suddenly trembled, and she bit her own lip tightly, but she didn't expect the wild dog Bobby to target her.
Arthur shouted, "Wild Dog Bobby, our brother and sister are going to the magic academy of His Excellency Elaine to conduct a test, do you dare to stop us?
Bobby's face changed suddenly, and then he said with a gloomy face: "If you don't say it, I'll just snatch your sister Saori, it's a pity...... It's a pity! You both have to die here today, or when you learn magic later, won't you come back and take revenge on me?"
However, just as Wild Dog Bobby finished speaking, a contemptuous voice came: "You pariah, you have the audacity to stop anyone who wants to go to the Earl Elaine's test, you are going against Lord Elaine!"
A middle-aged man in a black mage's robe walked over with a team of patrol men and shouted loudly.
And when Wild Dog Poppy saw the people following behind the middle-aged man and the patrol members, his face suddenly changed dramatically......
