Chapter 14: The Phil Tower

"Mick, Mick! Can you hear me? Are you so scared? When Mick came to his senses, he was back in the main hall of the Magic Technology Laboratory building, sitting on the wooden floor in front of the bronze statue of Adam, but the screams from his mouth never stopped. Then he saw Kenneth walk up to him, look at him playfully, pat himself on the shoulder, and asked.

Mick stared blankly at the light around him, and couldn't help but think of the black hand that poked out from behind the door, and he couldn't help but get up and take Kenneth's hand and said in horror: "Kenny, there's a monster down there, there's a monster down there!" ”

"Monsters? Mick, what nonsense are you talking about? Did you hit your head when you came up just now? Kenneth looked puzzled and couldn't help but lean over to examine Mick's head.

Seeing that Kenneth didn't believe his words, Mick hurriedly said, "What about Professor Duncan?" I have something important to tell him! ”

Kenneth, who heard Mick's question, showed a look of embarrassment, pointed to his huge luggage and said, "It seems to be weighed down by my luggage......"

"Then why don't you hurry up and save people!" Mick laughed and cried, and quickly got up and asked Kenneth to help remove the luggage that was holding Professor Duncan away.

"Didn't I see you screaming so horrible to see you first......" Kenneth muttered.

The two quickly moved their luggage away, and saw Calvin, who had been crushed under him, and was moaning helplessly. So the two of them hurriedly helped him up, and Mick looked at Professor Duncan, who kept coughing, and asked with concern, "Professor Duncan, are you okay?" ”

Calvin held his waist and said with a weak smile on his face, "I'm sorry I want you to help me...... I hadn't eaten in three days, and I really didn't have the strength to push that bag away from me......"

Kenneth wanted to apologize, but when he heard Calvin say that he hadn't eaten for three days, his eyes widened and he said, "You haven't eaten for three days, and you're still alive?!" Anyway, professor, are you poor? ”

Calvin waved his hand and smiled: "Of course not, every professor in the Lude Academy of Magic can get fifty gold coins a month, how can he not even eat?" It's just that I'm busy with my magic research, and before I know it, three days have passed, and if you hadn't triggered the mechanism, I wouldn't have known you'd all been here! ”

"Experiment ......," Mick muttered to himself, and then asked Calvin anxiously, "Professor, something went wrong with your experiment, I just saw a big black hand sticking out of your lab!" Also furry! ”

Calvin's eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, and then he smiled naturally: "Mick, you must be mistaken, my magic experiment has nothing to do with summoning, how can there be any monsters with big black furry hands?" ”

"But......" Mick remembered the terrible scene that had just happened, and couldn't help but want to refute.

Calvin interrupted Mick by beating his waist, "I think you must have been physically and mentally exhausted all the way here." Come on, I'll take you to your dormitories so Kenneth can put away his damn luggage. ”

Kenneth slapped Mick on the back and grinned, "Don't think about it, Mick! You must have read it wrong, how can there be monsters here! ”

Mick clutched his lips weakly while holding Kenneth's numb back, frowned, glanced back at the ground in front of the bronze statue of Adam, shook his head, and followed Calvin and Kenneth to the student dormitory where the first-year students lived.

————————+

The first-year dormitory is located on the south side of the Magic Technology Laboratory. Although it is a student dormitory, it is an independent three-story villa, all of which are red bricks and black tiles, revealing a sense of history eroded by the years, and there is a small courtyard in front of the door, which is quite life-like.

Each villa is separated by a creeper-covered fence, each of which forms a separate space, and Kenneth counted them one by one, making a total of twenty such villas.

Kenneth approached the dorm and asked Calvin, "Professor, is this really our dorm room?" ”

Calvin smiled and nodded to the two of them, "There are twenty buildings in this year's dormitory, and each building is named after the person on the Great Man Monument, which is very boring, right?" Each building can accommodate 10 people, and they are responsible for their own daily life. As for eating, it would be your luck to have a roommate who is a good cook, but it is generally better to go to the cafeteria. By the way, there's a dish called 'Charcoal Grilled Salamander' that I recommend you two little ones to try, it's my favorite." As for interpersonal relationships, it's up to you, but the word magician and interpersonal relationships really don't go well, haha. ”

Calvin laughed dryly twice and continued: "Lutheran College has always treated students well, and a certain reward will be issued every month according to your grades, and I heard that you can get a reward of up to five gold coins per month, which is very good, right?" However, unlike professors, students must purchase the materials they need to do their own experiments. Of course, this is something that you will need to consider when you are allowed to do experiments on your own when you reach second grade. ”

Kenneth's eyes straightened when he heard this, and he said, "Five, five gold coins!" Can you get so much money just by taking classes? ”

The currency of the Xio Empire is composed of gold, silver, and copper coins, one gold coin can be exchanged for ten silver coins, and one silver coin can be exchanged for one hundred copper coins, and the imperial rice price is generally stable at one copper coin per kilogram, and the annual income of the Kenneth family is only thirty-seven or eight silver coins.

"Well, of course you can't get it in class, if you want to get a subsidy of five gold coins, you have to get a full score in all subjects, as far as I know, in the last few years, Klaar Ignatz has received this subsidy for three consecutive years, tsk, he is an excellent student. Oh, here we are, this is your dormitory, the Phil Building. ”

Fir Tans, the legendary first sixth-order fire magician of mankind.

Kenneth and Mick followed Calvin into the small courtyard, and walked along the cobblestone path to the stone steps of the villa, looking at the gate about two meters away, and on the left side of the door hung a wooden sign with the word "Phil" engraved on it, and the handwriting was faintly flowing with red light, and there was no handle on the door, only a small iron dragon head.

"Alright, I'll send you here, because my stomach can't hold anymore. The official start date is March 17th, remember to show up in the basic classroom before 9 o'clock. Calvin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately disappeared from Kenneth and Mick's sight as soon as he said these words.

Kenneth smiled and said to Mick, "This Professor Duncan is such a good man!" ”

Mick nodded hesitantly: "Maybe......"

Kenneth only thought that Mick had not recovered from the shock just now, and with his left hand, he pulled Mick and said with his arm: "Let's go, let's see how our dormitory is!" Wow, I've never stayed in such a nice place! ”

Mick glanced at Kenneth, followed him up the stone steps, and then stood in front of the closed gate, and the two looked at each other, and suddenly found a very serious question: how did they get in?

Kenneth tried to push the door, but found that it could not be opened, and there was no handle to pull the door open, so he leaned over to the faucet to take a look, but could not see any mystery.

Just as the two of them scratched their ears and cheeks at the door, the closed door suddenly opened, and a young man who looked older than Kenneth and Mick leaned out of the door, with very striking silver hair, handsome appearance, wearing a refined beige linen blouse, and the lower body was leggings that were quite popular in the upper class.

The silver-haired young man touched the back of his head and smiled brightly: "I saw you from the upstairs window just now, and I wanted to surprise you when you entered the door, but you didn't come in after waiting for a long time, so I had to show up by myself, haha!" Oh, by the way, introduce myself, my name is Auston Constantine, I'm thirteen years old, it's a pleasure to meet you! ”

Kenneth put down his luggage, shook hands with Alston and said, "Hello, I'm Kenneth Lancelot, this is Mick Silver, I'm twelve years old, it's a pleasure to meet you!" ”

Mick raised an eyebrow and said, "Konstantin? ”

Auston stepped aside and invited the two into the house and said, "Don't stand at the door, come in and talk." By the way, what are you doing outside? ”

Kenneth picked up his luggage again, walked in the door, looked at the environment inside the room, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow......"

I saw that the room was covered with a gray carpet, facing the door and across the corridor was the living room, a long table was placed in the center of the living room, eight high-backed wooden chairs were placed on either side of the bench, one at each end, two candlesticks were placed on the table, three vases with thin necks were placed in the center, and there was even an unused fireplace in the living room. On the left side of the living room is a storage room, kitchen and staircase leading to the cellar, and on the right is a bedroom, bathroom and stairs to the second floor. Overall, the whole house looks neat and elegant.

"Take off your shoes and put them in the shoe cabinet, you can go barefoot, but I personally think it's better to change into slippers." As if demonstrating for the two of them, Auston took off his heel-based leather boots and replaced them with a pair of slippers.

Kenneth couldn't bear to step on the dirty-looking carpet, so he took off his boots and changed into slippers as Auston did, and Mick did the same.

"Well, Auston, it's okay to call you that, right? How did this gate open? Kenneth knew that Mick was too shy to ask such a low-level question, so he asked with a big grin.

"No problem, then I'll call you Kenneth and Mick. Oh, it turns out that you won't open this door~ It's very simple, you got the student card, right? As long as you hold the school registration card in front of the faucet, you can open the door, which should also be a kind of magic. ”

"Oh~I see~" Kenneth and Mick suddenly realized.

"Which senior brought you here? Why so irresponsible? Auston laughed.

Kenneth shook his head and said, "It's not the senior, it's Professor Duncan who brought us here." ”

At this time, the three of them were walking in the hallway, and Auston stopped when he heard this, and looked at the two of them in disbelief: "Professor Duncan? You're not talking about Professor Calvin Duncan, are you? ”

Kenneth and Mick looked at Auston's face and couldn't help but sink their hearts, Kenneth swallowed, then nodded and asked, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"He didn't do it for you, did he?"

The two nodded again, and then saw Auston looking at the two of them with sympathy in his eyes: "Congratulations, you have finished your four years." ”
