Chapter Eighty-Four: Upgraded Edition
Maluk was fine, and just followed Linton as he walked and chatted. Linton didn't say much, and inquired about the situation from the side.
This Maruk is also from a noble background, because his parents died, and he had some relationship with Linton's father, so he was sent to Merlowe's house to raise him, so he knew Linton. But when the other party was 13 years old, his fighting spirit awakened, and then he was sent to the academy in the imperial capital for further study.
Not everyone can go to the imperial capital, even if they are nobles, it does not mean that all family members can go, because the tuition is really expensive. However, Maruk's family basically has no other heirs, he was trained as the next generation of barons, so of course it is to be gilded, the academy is already a good way to gild, of course, the best is to go to the battlefield.
As for the Academy, it was just south of the city of St. Dravan, and the blue-roofed complex that Linton had seen before was the Academy. The full name is the Royal Academy of Lowell, the largest academy in the empire established after the hero Rowell, and the main education objects are the children of nobles.
At the beginning of the establishment of this academy, the main purpose seems to be to allow the nobles who were divided into various places to send their children to the imperial capital as half-hostages, so that they would not always rebel. However, the empire has been peaceful for a long time now, and the nature of the academy has also changed, and the current admission is still subject to selection, and it has become a real talent selection base.
In short, it is already a high honor to be able to enter the academy, and Maluk is also very proud of his student status along the way. Linton also asked about Baron Seders's daughter by the way, but he didn't expect Maruk to know him.
After all, they are nobles from the same place, and everyone has a small circle, and Maruk is very familiar with Karin, the daughter of Baron Siders. That's a good thing, Linton is worried about how to find someone, and now there is someone to lead the way.
Originally, I wanted to quit the marriage by the way, but Maruk said that Kailin was not in the academy recently, and they were all people who were about to graduate, so the internship time was more than the time spent studying at the academy, and Kailin had left the academy to participate in the mission before. Linton asked when the other party would come back, and Maluch said that it shouldn't be too long, after all, they were going to have their graduation exams soon, and Kailin had to rush back to review or something, which should be just a few days.
"You're looking for Kailin?" Maruk asked.
"yes." Linton nodded.
"What's the matter?"
"You may not believe it, but I'm here to get out of the marriage." Linton said.
"What? You and Kailin? Engagement? Maruk was stunned.
"yes." Linton nodded.
"When was it decided?" Maruk asked.
"That's it...... Ten days ago. Linton thought for a moment and said.
"Ten days ago? And then you're going to quit? Maruk looked confused.
"Isn't it like I'm being taken by others?" Linton said, "No way, people are too handsome, they are popular." ”
"So you abandoned Kaylin?" Maruk asked.
"Speak well, I've never seen that Kailin before, and I seem to have abandoned it from the beginning." Linton said.
"Uh......" Maruk thought for a moment, and seemed to be too, "and who are you going to marry?" ”
"Third princess Yalan." Linton told the truth.
"What? Wait, is that the third princess I know? Maruk asked.
"Yes, it's the third princess you know." Linton said.
"It's not...... Wait, you let me slow down, you said you have a marriage contract with the third princess? Maruk asked.
"yes."
"How is this possible!" Maruk yelled.
"If she doesn't marry me, I can't help it." Linton said.
"Are you kidding me?" Maruk asked.
"You see that you don't believe me when I tell the truth, how can I communicate in the future." Linton said.
"But isn't that scary? It's true? Confirm? ”
"Really." Linton said.
"......" Maruk was silent for a long time, "So I said I almost didn't recognize you, what happened to you in the past five years, how do you feel completely different from before." ”
"I was a trash before, but now I'm suddenly invincible, can I be the same?" Linton said.
"Invincible in the world?" Maruk was a little confused.
"Yes, you see I'm going to fight tomorrow What kind of flower knight, is it invincible to win this world?" Linton said.
"I was about to ask you about it." Maruk said.
"It's a tricky thing to explain, but you know I have faith." Linton said.
"Really? That's the legendary knight Byaar. Maluk was a little worried, and Linton could see that he was really worried about himself.
"It's useless for you to worry, it's all settled." Linton said, "There's still a day to go, and I can't tell you if you ask, right, so you might as well help me a little." ”
"Help? What's up? Maruk asked.
"Get some gear and prepare for tomorrow's battle." Linton said that he had come out to buy something, which made it much easier for Maruch to lead the way.
"Yes!" Maluk nodded, it is true that there is no way to change the trial of martial arts, and it is useless to be anxious now, it is better to prepare quickly, maybe Linton will survive. After all, the person who judged was not Linton, Linton was just a substitute fighter, and if the other side didn't kill him, it was possible to survive.
However, when it comes to not having a dead hand, Maluk suddenly thought of the situation just now, can the other side not have a dead hand. After thinking about it, forget it, I can't help anything else, but he can help with the preparation that Linton said, and the rest can only depend on God's will.
"Where to go first?" Maruk asked.
"Isn't there a shop that sells magic items? Let's go over there first. Linton said.
"Okay, I know a few of them, so I'll take you to the one I often go to first." Maruk said.
So soon the group came to the business district, Maruk took the two to a shop called "Magic Cube", this store is not the largest store, next to Linton saw that there were other magic shops, because the magic shops were marked with obvious signs, Linton also saw it, but this store should be good, at least there are a lot of people inside, indicating that there are many repeat customers.
Although there were a lot of people, when they saw the three of them entering the door, a waiter immediately came over to receive the three of them: "May I ask what you want, oh, the two of you are students of the academy, are you going out to practice, do you want to see the potion that just arrived?" ”
Presumably because Maluk was wearing a school uniform and regarded Linton as a student. Linton didn't explain, and asked directly, "Do you collect things here?" ”
"Uh, is it something more valuable?" The clerk asked, they don't usually accept ordinary materials in the store, but the valuable ones can still be accepted.
"There's a flintstone here." Linton directly took out the purple ball and said.
"What?" The clerk was stunned for a moment, looked at the huge flintstone, and was startled, "Sir, wait, my name is the store manager." ”
After a while, the clerk came with the store manager, who was a middle-aged man in his fifties, who looked very happy and looked a little ordinary. Seeing the huge flint in Linton's hand, the store manager was also a little out of shape: "Can you ...... Take a closer look? ”
"Look." Linton handed him the things directly, and the store manager here immediately looked at them carefully. After looking at it for a while, he was probably sure it was genuine.
"This thing ......"
"Picked it up." Linton said, "I was lucky enough to pick it up during the mission. ”
"That's really lucky." The store manager is a little unbalanced, and it is true that most of the flint stones are picked up by accident, and I don't know what exactly is produced, but this thing is really useful and very valuable. After thinking about it for a while, the store manager raised five fingers, "Fifty thousand gold coins, take it." ”
Maluk and Eke next to him were all confused, they didn't even know what the flint was, but when they heard the price, they were stunned, this thing is only 50,000?
"Next Door ......"
"Sixty thousand." The store manager said directly, "It can't be higher than this next door." ”
"Sold." Linton said directly.
"Okay, I'll go get the money ready." The store manager had already carried the things in his arms, and he didn't mean to return them to Linton at all.
"Wait, I've got to buy something." Linton said.
"That's best, it's quite troublesome for me to prepare so many gold coins." The manager nodded.
"Store manager, take a look at this first." Linton suddenly took out another blue gem and handed it to the store manager.
The store manager was stunned for a moment, subconsciously took it and looked at it, and then said with some shock: "This is ...... Eighth-level water-based magic crystal? ”
"What?" Everyone around was stunned and looked this way.
"The ......"
"Picked it up." Linton said directly.
"Can this be picked up too?" The store manager was a little confused, but after thinking about it, he probably didn't want to say it, so he didn't continue to ask, but said directly, "How about 180,000?" ”
"This one is not for sale." Linton said, "I'm asking you to see if this thing can help me make a magic prop......
"Oh, that's right." The store manager was a little disappointed, but still nodded, "Yes, we have a processing business here, this thing needs a master's hand, and the price is a bit high." ”
"Can it be attached to a staff?" Linton asked.
"Absolutely." The manager nodded again.
"Then look at this again." Linton said as he handed over a long stick.
The store manager was very excited, thinking that he could see something awesome again, but he took the stick, looked left and right and studied for a long time, and said a little uncertainly: "That...... This classmate, I don't see the situation with your staff......"
"You can't even see that?"
"This ...... I don't see it very clearly. The store manager said.
"You don't even know the burning stick?" Linton asked.
"What? Burning sticks? The store manager was stunned, "Is this really a burning stick?" ”
"yes." Linton nodded.
"So you're going to inlay this eighth-level water magic crystal on this burning stick?" The store manager asked.
"yes, homemade burning stick 2.0, not bad idea." Linton said proudly.
"What a TND!" The store manager yelled.
