Chapter Ninety-Eight: Hill's Plans

Adele really likes wands, and Vincent is her sweetheart, so she gives money very simply.

After getting the money, Vincent didn't stay long, chatted for a while, then turned around and said goodbye to Adele and left the Earl's Court.

Unexpectedly, he had just walked out of the gate of the Earl's Court and was about to get into the carriage, when Hill's voice came from behind him: "Vincent~Vincent, wait for me." ”

Vincent turned his head to see Hill walking briskly out of the gates of the Earl's Court, and she seemed to have come all the way, her fair cheeks flushed and panting.

"What's the matter, Miss Hill?" Vincent asked.

Hill trotted over to Vincent and performed a magician's etiquette before saying, "I misjudged you today, and I apologize to you." ”

Vincent smiled: "Hmm~ It's not a big deal, you are also thinking about Adele." ”

Hill nodded repeatedly, and then said, "Vincent, I'm very, very curious about the hidden alchemy master you talked about, and I really want to pay a visit. Do you think this is possible? ”

"To be honest, I don't know." Vincent shook his head, he and Rosen had only known each other for a few days, and they didn't know much about his personality, so they couldn't figure out what he thought.

Hill's eyes lit up: "So, I have a chance?" ”

Vincent still shook his head: "I still don't know." The only thing I know for sure is that this master is a very low-key man, and if I took the liberty of taking you to visit, I would surely provoke his anger. Even I contacted him through his butler. Of course, if you really want to see him, I can send you a message, but if the other party is willing to see you, then it's not up to me to decide. ”

"Oh~" Hill was a little disappointed in her heart, and there was a lot of trepidation, she thought for a while, and said: "Then please bring me a message to the master, just say that I am humble and respectful, hoping to get some guidance from the master in magic." If he is willing to receive me, I will do my best to repay you. ”

Hill said very sincerely, and Vincent couldn't bear to refuse when he saw her like this, so he said, "Then I'll try." ”

Hill: "Thank you very, very much. ”

Vincent nodded, turned and got into the carriage.

Hill watched the carriage go away, expecting and apprehension.

After pausing for a moment, she walked towards the academy carriage, and after getting into the carriage, she handed a few silver clumens to the coachman: "Uncle Milo, take me to the residence of the magician Cantor." ”

Magician Cantor, a three-star magician, a magic instructor at Nilogaard Academy, and a guide to magic for Hill.

"Yes, miss."

The coachman whipped his whip, and the carriage started smoothly, and soon drove out of the trading area, and quickly passed through the rich district in the west of the city, and entered the outer courtyard of the Nilogaard College, and then circled about the intricate boulevard of the outer courtyard, and after about five or six minutes the carriage stopped in front of a wooden building with a small courtyard, and on the fence wall of the courtyard hung a wooden sign that read, 'House of Cantor'.

"Miss, it's here."

"Thank you, Uncle Milo."

Hill jumped out of the carriage and walked to the wooden doorway, gently pulling the bell rope by the door.

'Ding~Ding~'

A few minutes later, the door of the wooden house opened, and a middle-aged woman stepped out of it. Hill knew this woman, she was a housekeeper hired by the mentor, named Anna, who specialized in helping the tutor with trivial household chores.

"Aunt Anna, is my tutor at home?" Ciel asked through the door.

Anna shook her head, "I'm sorry, Miss Hill, Mr. Cantor went out of town on business. Before leaving, he said that he would not come back for at least half a month. ”

"Huh?" Hill was disappointed, and it was a misfortune.

The mentor was not there, Hill thought for a moment and asked again, "Did the mentor go alone?" ”

Anna shook her head: "Of course not. Mr. Cantor set off with Mr. Charlie and Mr. Damira. ”

Hill was taken aback: "Senior brothers are leaving with the mentor?" Could it be that something big is happening outside the city? ”

Charlie and Damira are also Cantor's students, but unlike the others, these two have been promoted to official magicians and are the right-hand men of the mentor Cantor.

Anna shrugged: "I don't know the specifics, it is said that it is because of some strange things happening outside the city, it seems that many trucks transporting magic materials in the academy have been hijacked." ”

Hill became more and more surprised: "Someone dares to rob the academy's truck, is this a fatal thing?" ”

Aunt Anna smiled nonchalantly, "Who knows." Maybe there was some conspiracy, or maybe it was just a mistake. Either way, those robbers will definitely be punished as they deserve! ”

Hill agreed, nodding in agreement, "Aunt Anna, you're right, I have no doubt about that. ”

Having said this, she was disappointed in her heart: 'The mentor is not there, and the two senior brothers are not there, so what can I do?' ’

The hierarchy of the academy is very strict, and the apprentice magician is almost the lowest level of the academy, and the only people who can communicate with each other on weekdays are their mentors and fellow disciples. Now, these people are gone, and Hilton can't report the news.

Of course, she can't report the discovery of the alchemy master to other magicians, but if she does, once she is discovered by the mentor, the best outcome will be snubbed by the mentor, and the worst will even be expelled from the court by the mentor, and then no other magician in the academy will accept him as a disciple.

Thinking about it, Hill couldn't think of a good way.

Aunt Anna saw that she had not spoken, so she asked, "Miss Hill, is there anything else you can do?" ”

Ciel came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "No." Excuse me, Aunt Mary. ”

After turning to leave the Mentor's house, Ciel walked aimlessly down the academy's boulevards, his mind thinking about the mysterious alchemist.

'A moon wand beyond common sense, a magic mirror that is much better than the work of Master Parkland...... This master alchemist must possess unfathomable magical powers, perhaps even more powerful than the mentor. If I can get his advice, even if it is only a few words, it will definitely be a huge gain! ’

'Hey~ I'm so stupid. The two senior brothers can stay with the mentor every day, and they can get the guidance of the mentor at any time. On weekdays, I ask them to answer their questions, but they are always perfunctory. Now that there is such a good thing, why should I share it with them? ’

Yes, this can only be told to the guru. But it won't take half a month for the mentor to come back...... During this time, I happened to find a way to contact this alchemy master, and I might be able to get his guidance. Second, I was able to learn more about the situation. ’

'This master alchemist likes to keep a low profile. Since I like to keep a low profile, I shouldn't have caused trouble for him...... However, I am only a small apprentice magician, and I am a master alchemist. How can I get his reception? ’

Hill thought about it, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "By the way, I can ask Adele for help." ”

Adele has business dealings with that alchemist master, and as long as she has a good relationship with Adele, she can always find an opportunity.

It may sound like a utilitarian thing, but in Nilogaard's Academy, a trainee magician with mediocre talent who is not valued by his mentor must use all the powers he can to succeed in his studies.
