Volume 1 Loren Chapter 5 Letter of Admission
Linus Urn explained angrily: "Boy, as long as a person with a clear mind would not dare to come here to make trouble, behind the Imperial Sword Academy is the Duchy of Belmar, and two of the four sword saints, Forrest Gump and Buvanga, are both nominal teaching directors here. ”
Glancing at Xiuzhe's ghost hand Linus continued: "If a patient with Kazan syndrome breaks into this place, he will be killed instantly, and the teachers here are not only able to teach, they are all experienced adventurers. ”
Xiu Zhe nodded lightly and looked around at the students wearing a smart school uniform, almost all of the students here were children of the same age as himself, as if he could see Xiu Zhe's doubts, Linnas explained: "The Imperial Sword Academy is not like the Academy of Magic, only plasticity is cultivated under the perfect education system, of course, they also have a complete review system to check whether the admission is malleable. ”
Hearing Linus's words, Xiu Zhe's heart instantly raised his throat and his eyes were a little nervous, a strange smile appeared on Linnas's face, patted Xiu Zhe's thin shoulder, and said: "But if you have a ghost hand, you can completely ignore their review system, the academy has abandoned the prejudice against ghost hands since the day it was founded, and they regard ghost hands as good seedlings for natural sword training." Ghost hands, which were previously considered bad omens, are still longed for by many students. ”
Xiu Zhe smiled helplessly and touched the ghost and god binding on his right arm, the ghost hand that needed a thick iron chain to restrain was still regarded as a treasure? How much suffering did he and his mother suffer because of this ghost hand?
At this time, the two of them had already arrived in front of the door of the academy's teaching office, and Linus didn't even knock on the door, pushed the door open with his big hand, and laughed: "President, I'm here!" ”
Xiu Zhe looked intently, and saw a white-haired old man lying leisurely on the recliner with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, staring intently at the ancient book in his hand.
"You still dare to come to see me?!" The old man, who was about the same height as Xiu Zhe, didn't look at Linus at all, but the momentum on his body suddenly increased so much that the clothes on Linnas's body were hunting.
Xiu Zhe couldn't withstand the wind, his right foot took a step back, and his body also leaned back, and he was about to be blown away, when Linus's big solid hand stroked Xiu Zhe's back to help him stand still.
"Sinda, didn't I come to fight you, didn't I just refuse Barn's request for me to build him a weapon? How? As a free blacksmith, I can't refuse a request for me to craft a weapon? Linus said coldly with disdain on his face.
"Are you still crazy? Do you know how much I paid to wipe your ass?! Five kilograms of Terra Divine Stone! I personally refined a Terra dagger and gave it to Barn, which allowed the Delos Empire to stop suppressing our blacksmith guild! The old man, Sinda, folded the ancient book and sat up straight, shouting angrily.
Linus pouted, of course he knew about these things, but it had already happened, and he followed Forrest Gump to travel the continent in order to avoid Sinda. I thought that this matter would be overturned in a few years, but who would have thought that this old thing would always be remembered.
Rough on the surface and delicate in his heart, he would not be more serious with Xinda in this matter, and immediately changed the topic and said: "I came to use the annual work-study quota of Forrest Gump's left subordinates to let this child go to the Imperial Sword Academy. ”
Xinda restrained the momentum on his body and looked Xiu Zhe up and down, and when he saw Xiu Zhe's ghost hand, a trace of surprise flashed in his cloudy old eyes, but he still spoke: "Impossible, Linus, although I don't have a veto here, it's quite easy for me to let this kid get out of with you with my position as the president of the Blacksmith Guild and the first-year teaching director." ”
Linus's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a somewhat unkind tone: "Old man, I will give you face and call you president, it is because of our old relationship, you don't want to get an inch, your personal grudge with me has nothing to do with this child." ”
A hint of cunning flashed in Xinda's eyes, and then she quickly hid it and said lightly: "I don't care, if Forrest Gump himself comes to recommend this child to me, I will definitely not interfere, but if you come, this matter will not work!" ”
Xiu Zhe looked at Linnas a little anxiously, and Linnas's big hand stroked Xiu Zhe's back without a trace to indicate that he was okay.
"Say, old man, what are the conditions?" Others don't know, but Linus knows how calculating the old man is Sinda, and if he doesn't blackmail himself today, I'm afraid he really won't be able to get by.
Sinda smiled with satisfaction and said: "Three months later, today is the twenty-fifth birthday of Skadi, the monarch's favorite concubine of the Duchy of Belmar, our blacksmith association wants to create a gift for her, although you can only fight weapons, but you are indeed a rare genius blacksmith, as long as you help me create a gift for the princess, I will allow this child to come to the academy to study and will not stumble." ”
Linus touched the stubble on his chin and said impatiently: "You old thing is really enough, even if you can't get along with me, you can't get along with children, okay, I promise you!" ”
Sinda's wrinkled face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, and Linus glanced at Sinda with disdain and said, "Let's go, go through the formalities for this child." ”
After the tedious steps were finally completed, Xinda instructed Xiu Zhe: "20 days later is the entrance ceremony for new students, you go to the teaching office two days in advance to find me, I will take you to get the hospital uniform, and assign you a dormitory." ”
As for Linus, he had already agreed with Sinda that when he made a sword for Xiu Zhe, he would come to help Xinda make a birthday gift for the princess.
Xiu Zhe took the admission letter from Xinda's hand and was very excited, and bowed vigorously to Linus and Sinda to express his gratitude. Linus didn't want to say anything more to the old fox Sinda, so he pulled Xiuzhe out of the academy to buy the materials needed to build weapons.
Xinda looked at the smiles on the faces of the two who gradually disappeared from view, and muttered even more: "I'm afraid that this freshman is guilty, ten-year-old ghost hand boy, I haven't seen this situation in my life for so long, presumably Forrest Gump will be interested, right?" ”
Leaving the academy, Linus went to the most prosperous bazaar in Huttonmar, where he bought five kilograms of fine iron and some colorful stones.
When all the materials for crafting the weapon were purchased, Linus rented a carriage and headed for Xiuzhe's house.
"Brother Lin, what is this?" Xiu Zhe opened the bag containing the colored stone and picked up an indigo stone, the texture on the stone was very regular, and it looked crystal clear in the sunlight.
"Zircon, a mineral often found in the forests of Lorrain and the Gran Forest, is the material used to craft weapons." Linus took out a small book and handed it to Xiu Zhe and continued: "This small book of mine contains a lot of mineral information and what I have seen and heard in the past few years in my travels to the mainland, if you want to work part-time as a blacksmith at the Imperial Sword Academy, this knowledge will help you get started faster." ”
Xiu Zhe's little face was extremely solemn, and he took it with both hands, this is the joint effort of Linnas and countless blacksmith predecessors, how could he behave frivolously?
Linus saw Xiu Zhe's solemn appearance and chuckled: "Actually, the record in this is not a big deal, the most important thing in the forging process is not theoretical knowledge but hands-on practice, when you pick up the hammer and hit it on a piece of pig iron, you will have a clearer understanding." ”
Xiu Zhe nodded frequently, obviously trying to memorize Linus's teachings, and when he opened the small book and saw the first page of the record, he fell into it, Linus's account was very detailed and very attractive to read quietly.
Looking at Xiu Zhe Linus, who was immersed in the book, smiled slightly, turned his eyes to the carriage and looked at the scenery on the side of the road, and the two never communicated along the way.
I don't know how long it took, when Delinus stood up and stepped out of the carriage and Xiu Xiangxue's voice came, Xiu Zhe realized that the carriage had arrived at his door.
"Linus, Zhe'er? ...”
"There's no problem, he can report to the Imperial Sword Academy in 18 days." Linus gave a thumbs up, baring his white teeth, and said with a smile.
"Mother!" Xiu Zhe put away the small notebook and threw herself into Xiu Xiangxue's arms, rubbing her little head against her stomach, that coquettish appearance made Xiu Xiangxue show a doting smile, rubbed Xiu Zhe's head, and showed a trace of reluctance and worry in her eyes.
But she did not dissuade her, this is the path that Xiu Zhe voluntarily chose, and as a mother, she should unconditionally support her son's choice.
"Don't worry, Sister Xue, it's impossible for this kid Xiu Zhe to be bullied in the academy, you should worry about him not bullying others in the academy."
Xiu Xiangxue naturally knew that Linas was talking about Xiu Zhe's ghost hand, so she hurriedly lowered her head and instructed: "Zhe'er, you are not allowed to take off the ghost and god bindings when studying with your classmates, understand?" ”
Looking at Xiu Zhe, Xiu Shouxiu smiled at Xue and said, "I'll give you another hot meal, go into the house and wash your hands." With that, Xiu Xiangxue turned around and walked into the hut.
"Hey, it's finally paid off after a long day's hard work, Xiu Zhe, I'll start building your weapon in the afternoon, do you want to see it then?" Linus stretched and said lightly.
"Really? I want to see! Xiu Zhe's eyes were full of excitement, and he was very much looking forward to being able to watch a top blacksmith build weapons.
"Okay, after dinner, you can go with me to the blacksmith shop next to your house, but there is only one set of iron-making tools under construction there, and you can only sit on the ground and watch."
Xiu Zhe hurriedly shook his head to show that he didn't care, Linus smiled and walked into the hut with Xiu Zhe, and cleaned up the food brought by Xiu Xiangxue.
After the three of them chatted for a while, Linus took Xiu Zhe to his blacksmith shop, as he said, the blacksmith shop was not even a prototype now, some of the workers were carrying bricks and tiles back and forth, and some of the workers were sitting on the ground eating lunch.
