Chapter 15: The Dean Summons
After a heavy rain, the imperial capital Baizhe was completely shrouded in the cold from winter, and the pace of people walking in the bustling streets and alleys was also slowed down a little because of the increasingly oppressive cold.
In restaurants, taverns, and various meeting places, the number of customers is increasing. Boring people, idle people, lazy people, huddled into a table, eating, drinking, chatting nonsense, wantonly spreading the news gossip of this city where big things happen every day.
The daughter of the duke's family kicked someone's descendants......
The third young master of the marquis's family has been promoted again......
The home of the chief financial officer was finally sealed......
His Majesty the Emperor is missing again......
......
Bizarre and varied. As for whether it is true or not, no one will be bored to pursue it, it doesn't matter what is wrong, what is distorted. As long as this moment becomes a good conversation after dinner, the meaning to the general public will be complete.
In the whole city, in the mouths of tens of thousands of gossip, there will occasionally be a few words like this-
"I heard that there was a duel between students in Presland, and the fifth-level fire system versus the fifth-level earth wind dual system, and the one of the fire system won. ”
"What the hell is the fire system winning?"
"Prisland's education is getting worse and worse, a genius of the earth-wind dual-system has actually degenerated to the point where he can't beat even the first-level fire system. ”
"Yes, yes, what is the first magic academy of the empire, the more and more talents are being accepted, but the reputation is getting worse and worse. Let's talk about the last college competition, among the top ten students, ......"
"How the hell was it defeated?"
"Because it's too tender! The one in the Earth-Wind Twin Lines is only a teenage girl, while the one in the Fire Sect is a young man five or six years older than him. During the duel, the fire-based used a few tricks of evil magic to beat the girl to the ground. ”
"What a shame. ”
"That's right, what's even more excessive is that the young man of the fire system is already older than the graduates, but he is still at the level of level 5, and he wants to find face in the junior girl......"
"Presland is getting worse and worse. ”
"Yes, yes, shame, sorrow......"
......
The fact that the repeater defeated the dual-line genius in a head-to-head duel caused a lot of shock in the Prisland Academy, but to go out of the academy was just an inconspicuous small wave in the thousands of gossip, and the meaning was at best another reason for people to question the teaching level of the Prisland, which had become weaker and weaker in recent years. And only a very small number of people can understand the true meaning of this matter.
"This is a duel that will eventually become a legend. ”
Magic Association, Elder's Study, Elder Richard said to the black-robed figure across the table while making tea.
"Which side are you referring to?" Chongyang said.
"Both sides. Elder Richard smiled slightly and brought the teacup to Chongyang.
"Thank you for such a high evaluation...... I'm glad you didn't show anger. ”
"Are you worried about Freya? That kid is arrogant, and he should have been taught a lesson. But no one of her rank has ever been able to defeat her, and I've had a headache. Elder Richard sighed.
Chongyang cautiously remained silent and lowered his head to drink tea. Elder Chad said so, but after all, he was the one who nearly strangled the Howason family's most high-profile genius in his hands. At such times, it is important to be humble.
Didn't get carried away, it was good. Elder Richard was satisfied with Chongyang's attitude.
"Didn't you ask me why I intervened to help Freya before the duel?"
"She's your granddaughter......"
"But it's unfair to you after all. Elder Richard smiled serenely.
"There is no fairness in the world. Chongyang borrowed the words of the fire demon.
There was a sudden silence.
There's a lot of resentment! That's not good. Elder Richard sweated a little when he heard this. Considering that if you have to deal with it in the future, being hated by this young man is definitely not a trivial matter that can be taken lightly.
The old man cleared his throat.
"The official wedding of Frilian and Burning Sun is scheduled for next spring. ”
Chongyang's eyes became cold, and the air pressure in the room rose sharply.
"Let's get engaged next week, because there's always something to be done...... And your brother should take Frilian home first to see her parents, right?"
Chongyang's eyes softened, and the air pressure in the room dropped suddenly.
"Today, I'm going to hand over my withdrawal letter to the academy and apply for membership in the Magical Association. The other party gave a promise, and Chongyang was simply ready to fulfill his promise.
"Good. Elder Richard nodded, "Welcome to the Magical Society...... However, the current situation is a little different from before the duel. ”
Chongyang raised his eyebrows.
"Your story has spread. ”
"It didn't make much of a difference......"
"No, in some circles, the impact is sensational. Elder Richard said meaningfully, "A repeater with a magic deficiency, after being cured by the Healing Grandmaster, won the genius of the Earth and Wind Twin Line. ”
Chongyang was silent for a long time, and his brain was running rapidly.
"Am I being targeted?" came to a frightening conclusion.
"Yes, I don't know how many old guys want to catch you and dig out the people behind you at any cost. "It's more than I expected...... Boisterous. ”
"This ......" state of affairs is in some ways beyond the boundaries of Chongyang's thinking, which feels very bad.
"Don't worry, the older you get, the less timid you are, and they shouldn't be able to do anything to you easily. Besides, I've already put the news out, and the Howason family's face, they always have to give it......"
"Thank you. Chongyang nodded.
"You're welcome, but I want to thank you for the fact that the Howason family can also win some benefits in this matter. Moreover, it wasn't me who vouched for you first. Elder Richard smiled wryly.
"Huh?" Chongyang was stunned.
"Go back to the academy and meet the dean. He may not accept your withdrawal letter. ”
......
The cold wind was howling outside, but it was warm in the herb fields where the fire magic enchantment had been cast. The figure of that ordinary and short old man is not here today.
But there was another bearded old professor, waiting in front of the door of Chongyang's room.
"Chongyang...... Hehe, magic scroll ......" Professor Andre stroked his unkempt and somewhat charred beard with some embarrassment, and looked like a child asking for candy from his big brother to the returning repeater.
"Professor, I gave you ten, and you used it up overnight?" Chongyang frowned, and couldn't help but be a little suspicious of the old professor's research attitude.
Professor Andre was hurt by the look in his eyes, but he couldn't argue with it. The mystery of the new type of fire-based magic simply fascinated him, and when he came back to his senses, he had all used up the airblast scroll in his hand.
Facing the embarrassed and longing eyes of the old professor's child, Chongyang rubbed his temples and sighed.
After the duel that day, the old professor took the initiative to take care of himself and treated his injuries, which made Chongyang very grateful. Although it was impossible to explain the mysteries of the new type of fire magic to Professor Andre, he could give him some magic scrolls to study.
However, ten reels, consumed so quickly...... After all, he also has his own things to do, so he can't make new scrolls for the professor all day, right?
Seeing Chongyang's embarrassment, Professor Andre didn't dare to repay the favor no matter how thick-skinned he was, so he asked for it directly. So he offered a deal.
"Five new magic scrolls for one arcane-level magic scroll. ”
Chongyang was stunned for a moment and raised his eyebrows.
"Is there a Holy Spirit level?"
"Don't be insatiable, boy!" the old professor jumped. He knew that the cost of Chongyang's manufacturing scrolls, in addition to labor, the use of paper and ink was only at the level of two or three level scrolls. Changing to an arcane-level magic scroll every five is already a huge bargain!
"No, I really need it. Chongyang explained, "Because my situation is ...... There may be some trouble. ”
Professor Andrei fell silent, stroked his beard and pondered for a moment.
"That's it, messy things...... "After all, it's also an old character, and it didn't take a moment for Professor Andre to understand what Chongyang meant.
A healing master, a magic master, hides behind this youth. God knows what means will so many big figures in the entire imperial capital use to dig up secrets?
"Your master won't help you?"
"If it were true, he would have done it, but it would have been too bad to get to that point. Chongyang said helplessly, "But he's not a person who is good at making magic scrolls." ”
In fact, it can't be made at all.
Professor Andre nodded.
"Alright, Holy Spirit level scrolls, a hundred for one. ”
"It's so expensive......"
"It is possible to pay in installments. ”
"Is there a discount?"
"Nope!"
"What if I make a higher-grade scroll?"
"Well...... this"
After some bargaining, Chongyang obtained three Holy Spirit-level fire-type magic scrolls, as well as thirty mystery-level fire-type magic scrolls, several domain-level scrolls, and a space ring, while carrying a heavy debt burden. Includes hundreds of new magic scrolls and Professor Andre's favor.
The mystery-level scrolls are all rare treasures, not to mention the Holy Spirit-level scrolls. Chongyang himself understands that this transaction will require at least one-third of the old professor's family wealth accumulated over the years.
This is Professor Andre's care for himself, and Chongyang remembers it in his heart.
With the Holy Spirit level scroll in hand, Chongyang finally felt that he had some confidence, his current strength was really too weak compared to those big people who were high above the earth.
Lying on the bed in the room a little weakly, Chongyang, who was in a daze, flashed the scenes of the duel in front of his eyes. It was a real all-out battle, and even your life was at stake.
Because of what happened at the end, the victory lacked realism at the time. But now that I have calmed down, the more Chongyang thinks about it, the more profound the aftertaste becomes.
Let's see what kind of magic is used: new fire magic, combined defense magic array, fusion magic, defense breaking magic, and even mutation magic......
The most noble, powerful and beautiful power in the world, gorgeous and brutal battles, make people's blood boil.
Chongyang is deeply immersed in the charm of magic.
"If you want to see more of the mysteries of magic, just keep getting stronger. The flame demon's words rang in his ears, "When you stand at the top of the world, you can see the most beautiful scenery." ”
The most gorgeous magic.
I'd like to see ......
......
There was a knock on the door.
Chongyang was stunned for a while, only to realize that it was the first time that his snail house welcomed visitors from the outside world.
Who was it? He went over and opened the door, and the first thing he saw was the blue hair flowing in the wind, and he smelled a breathtaking fragrance.
"Chongyang @ Bright. ”
A young female tutor in a delicate and elegant robe, with a pair of plump clothes on her chest. The neckline is touching and white, which makes people think infinitely.
Her watery blue eyes reflected the face of the black-haired youth, flashing with more playful colors than during the upgrade test, and her delicate red lips opened lightly, exhaling like an orchid.
"The Dean wants to see you. ”
