Chapter 145: Money is the Root of All Evil, and It's Hard to Move Without Money (Six More Requests for Subscription)
Before he knew it, he had come to the middle of October 5115 in the Divine Creation Calendar, and it had been a month and a half since Lei Zhe had entered the premier academy of the Saint Yuan Empire.
If there is any change for Lei Zhe in the past month and a half, it is that his knowledge is no longer limited to the young man who only lived in the medium-sized city of Winifred in the past, on the contrary, after coming to the Holy Dragon City, through the library of the academy, Lei Zhe has already had a deeper understanding of the entire Shengyuan Empire and even the Delan Continent.
The Shengyuan Empire is in the Western Continent of the Delan Continent, and from Lei Zhe's previous feelings, it is indeed very large, and the land area is no less than the size of most of the Eurasian continent, but this is only the smallest of the three major human empires in the Western Continent.
The Western Continent is the territory of human beings, and the Shengyuan Empire is the most conservative and purest human country among the three human empires, although the school spirit of St. Blake's United Academy does not prohibit non-human intelligent races from studying, but in fact, the number of non-human races in the Shengyuan Empire is pitiful, and the people who can enter St. Blake's United College are not even one percent of the total number of people in the college, these people are distributed in the three grades of the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, and it is not easy for Lei Zhe to meet the students of the non-human race.
The continent of Teresa is bounded by the Central Mountains, the Eastern Continent is dominated by non-human races, and the Western Continent is dominated by humans, and the Central Mountains are the sphere of neutral forces.
Lei Zhe's time for a month and a half can be described as extremely fulfilling.
The weekly classes are basically free, like the swordsmanship course Lei Zhe simply asked Tina to take Denisha to go, Lei Zhe himself does not need to focus on the cultivation of swordsmanship, when Dinisha comes back, Lei Zhe only needs to be able to feel the swordsmanship insight she has gained from Dinisha as long as he rents LV.1 through the ability.
Although the ability to lease the ability is a temporary retention subsidy, but the perception makes it easier for Lei Zhe to improve his swordsmanship than ordinary people, even if Lei Zhe has never gone to a swordsmanship class after the first swordsmanship class, Lei Zhe's swordsmanship progress is still the fastest among the freshmen.
Without taking a swordsmanship course, Lei Zhe didn't have many options left. In addition to the magic courses that will inevitably not be left behind every time, Lei Zhe also took alchemy and enchantment, two courses led by the Alchemy Academy.
The choice of alchemy and enchantment is not that Lei Zhe wants to really become a professional alchemist and enchanter, but because he wants to get a lot of credits among the students, it is really difficult to mix without a skill.
Identification techniques like Lei Zhe's own mastery are absolutely useful in the outside world, but in the relatively closed academy, there are not so many people who have treasures to be firm.
Even if Lei Zhe wants to earn credits for identification, who in the entire academy has treasures?
Student?
Although not all of them are poor ghosts, there are almost no unknown treasures to be identified in the academy.
Professor? Dean?
There is no doubt that these two types of people collect a lot of good things, but when Lei Zhe's reputation has not been started at all, it is impossible for someone to take the initiative to find him with treasures for identification, so the plan to use detection technology to identify and earn credits has no possibility of being realized from the beginning.
And the efficiency of getting credits from the professors in the class is too slow, so Lei Zhe can only try to become a pharmacist and alchemist in exchange for credits by refining designated items.
Many of the freshmen who entered St. Black's Union College did not have any foundation before entering the school, just like Lei Zhe, and they had to start learning from the very basics when the credit was the root of all evil in the college.
The production materials are calculated according to the market price, but the finished products completed by the students are purchased for credits at 50% of the finished product price, of course, this price is fake to say that there is no profit.
Although these alchemy props, weapons and equipment, potion scrolls, etc. are from the hands of students, which one of them can be purchased will be a real defective product?
When these finished products are sold outside the academy, the price is definitely five or even ten times that of the purchase, of course, the majority of these theories belong to the various chambers of commerce, but these chambers of commerce will not eat profits in vain, and will also reinvest some of them in the form of sponsorship into the development of St. Black Union College.
If it weren't for these sponsorships, it would have been very difficult to hire professors in the academy who were also well-known in the Deland continent with the tuition fee of 50 gold coins paid by each freshman a year.
St. Black's Union College is famous, but if it doesn't have real benefits, don't want to impress the professors who can be called the old fritters among the adventurers.
Don't look at the fact that Lei Zhe has been "locked up" in the academy for a month and a half, but they are actually not out of touch with the outside world. In addition to prohibiting students from going out, what happened in the Holy Dragon City and even the latest news on the Deland continent has never been interrupted, but there are newspapers and periodicals in the academy that are important points in the mainland every week.
For those who are not short of 1 credit, it is not a good deal to spend just 1 credit to learn about the hot events of the week.
With the unconsciously passing a month and a half, the "Basic Runic Literature" given to Lei Zhe by Dean Kelly at the beginning has been able to condense the thirty basic runes in Lei Zhe's practice, and only with Lei Zhe's current rune technology and the alchemy and rune courses he has listened to for more than a month, Lei Zhe's achievements in these two may have surpassed the whole year of study of others.
I have to say that "Basic Rune Literature" is a rune introductory textbook always compiled by Dean Kelly, an alchemist, when Lei Zhe began to learn runes from shallow to deep, his comprehension of runes is not inferior to the level of rune masters, although alchemy is still in the category of advanced alchemy apprentices, but it is far easier to step into the level of rune masters than others.
In the month and a half when Lei Zhe was immersed in the runes, the Holy Dragon City, which had been calm for a long time, was full of strange things.
As the capital of the entire Shengyuan Empire, the defense force of the Holy Dragon City cannot be described as imstricted. In addition to the large number of garrisons, hidden solidified magic is engraved throughout the city, coupled with a super-large magic array that can only be opened in wartime, the entire Holy Dragon City can be called a fortress that will never fall.
In fact, since the Holy Dragon City was rebuilt thousands of years ago, the entire Holy Dragon City has indeed not changed hands, and this tranquility is enough to relax the countless people who have fallen in the Holy Dragon City.
However, after entering October, there were one after another earthquakes in the Holy Dragon City without warning, and the shaking of this earthquake only lasted in a local area of the Holy Dragon City, and the tremor was felt strongly in one area, but in the place close to that area, it was not the slightest feeling.
This completely confusing earthquake survey has been conducted for half a month without a clear answer, and finally with the end of this investigation, the first test after the new students enter the school finally begins.
It is not for nothing that the St. Black United Academy can become the only three high-level colleges in the Saint Yuan Empire, the academy itself has a subsidiary labyrinth secret realm, and Lei Zhe's test is carried out in this secret realm.
