The words of the gatekeeper of this academy are really straightforward.

Fortunately, Link had been prepared for this result, and his current magic energy limit was 24.1, which was very low, just the level of an ordinary magic apprentice, so it was strange that he could be favored.

Of course, he still has 105 free points, and if he wants to add them all to the upper limit of magical energy, then even if he has a 90% weakening effect of the magic weakness effect, he can also change the upper limit of magic energy to 129.1 with the ratio of one free point to the upper limit of 10 points, which is already equivalent to the level of a level 2 magician, which should be enough to enter the magic academy.

But it's a bit silly to do so, because when the time comes, he will have the power of a level 2 magician, but he will not have the knowledge of a level 2 magician, and he will be a complete freak.

If he really entered the magic academy, the academy would naturally arrange a second-level magician course for him, and he couldn't understand it at all, so he would be confused.

Link's trip this time was mainly a matter of luck, and if he didn't get a fancy to him, he would go back to the inn to learn the basics of magic on his own, so he didn't suffer any blow at all, and he smiled at the comforting look that Elette threw at him, indicating that he was fine.

However, there is also an unexpected bonus, the East Valley School of Magic can actually use the thesis as a stepping stone, which was not mentioned in the game in the previous life.

In the game, as long as the player's level reaches and pays a sum of money, then he is a disciple of the magic academy, and nothing else.

On the side, Elite Tyrink asked, "How can my friend prove his magical insight?" ”

Vincent smiled, looked Ellet up and down, turned his eyes around the clothes he was wearing, and said with a smile: "Young man, I think what you should be worried about is yourself. The tuition fee at the East Valley School of Magic is not low. ”

He can be regarded as having read countless people, and his eyes are very vicious, and he can see the price of the clothes on both sides at a glance, in contrast, the gray robe on the ordinary young man next to him, although it is inconspicuous, but it is sewn from delicate gray squirrel skin, and the value should be more than ten times that of the new clothes on this beautiful boy.

If he guessed correctly, this ordinary boy should be a noble child, but this young man is a commoner.

As for the tuition, Ellett was naturally prepared, he was ready to learn magic, racking his brains to make money, he had a good mind, and by now, he had saved a full 200 gold coins, and the price of the tuition fee he inquired about was this number.

"200 gold, huh? I'm ready. He laughs.

Unexpectedly, Vincent shook his head with a smile, and then stretched out two fingers: "No, no, no, young man, you are mistaken, it's not 200, 200 gold coins are a treatment that only nobles can enjoy." Civilians are 300 gold. However, this year, the academy has already filled up its enrollment of students, and if you go in again, you will be an extra member, and you will need additional arrangements and additional magic materials, which will cost money. And you're a civilian, so you don't have any discounts, so you should end up paying 2,000 gold. ”

Elette was stunned and frowned: "But there is no reason to increase tenfold, right?" ”

How many civilians in the world can come up with 2,000 gold coins? It is estimated that only those business tycoons in the Southern Liberty Alliance can afford such expensive tuition.

This is a disguised refusal for civilians to learn magic.

But Link on the side knew that the Academy of Magic was not completely blackmailing. Because for magicians, money is simply a number. Ordinary people seem to spend an astronomical amount of money, and the magician spends whatever magic materials he buys.

For example, the crescent moon wand in Link's hand, this wand costs 1,000 gold coins, and the fire crystal staff will only be more expensive, estimated to cost more than 3,000 gold coins.

It is also reflected in the game of the previous life, anyway, the choice of a magician is just one word, spending money! The cost of optical skills is several times more expensive than that of other professions, not to mention all kinds of magical equipment.

Judging from the reason Vincent said, 2000 gold coins should not be a random number, and the cost should have been calculated slightly, of course, this does not hide the unfair treatment of civilians by the academy.

However, it was clear that Ellett did not understand the world of magicians, and anger grew in his heart.

Vincent had a calm face, he spread his hands, leaned back on the chaise longue, shook the ground, and said lazily: "I don't know this, this price is not set by me, it is the dean's intention." I'm just in charge of conveying it. ”

However, Ellett still had a trick, and he took out a letter: "I have here a letter of recommendation from Countess Arité." ”

Vincent looked up and saw that the envelope was covered with a fire-lacquered insignia, which was a blooming rose, which he knew to be the family coat of arms of the only countess of the Kingdom of Norton.

He glanced at Elett's extremely handsome face, and smiled ambiguously: "Well, to be good-looking is to take advantage of it, and you can actually get a letter of recommendation from the nobles." What the dean means is that if there is a letter of recommendation from a nobleman, the tuition fee is reduced by 500 and becomes 1500."

Seeing the letter of recommendation, Link also looked sideways, it seems that this young man knows how to be flexible, how many commoners can't earn more than 200 gold coins in a lifetime, this young man did it at the age of seventeen, and he was recommended by the nobles, and he was also a countess, if he didn't sacrifice something, Link didn't believe it.

However, 1500 gold coins is still not something that Ellett can afford.

He finally ran out of tricks, the anger in his heart finally couldn't be suppressed, his handsome face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You guys are robbing!" ”

Vincent shook his head, indifferent, and calmly admonished: "Prudent words, young man, I have a good temper, and I don't care with you, if you meet a bad-tempered magician one day, if you say this again, he will definitely light you into a candle." ”

Seeing that Elite was still angry and wanted to step forward to argue, Link hurriedly reached out and pulled him back.

They are now unknowns, and the East Valley School of Magic is the cradle of magicians in the Norton Kingdom, and the dean is still a level 7 great magician, and they lose their temper here, which is of no use except to make a bad impression on each other.

Ellett is a commoner, and the tuition fee is not enough, although the system of the academy is somewhat unfair, but these are objective facts, and they cannot be changed by throwing tantrums and roaring.

Link was able to become the first god of the server in the game in his previous life, and he has a strong ability to control his emotions, he will never complain about others, nor will he get angry pointlessly.

When he encounters a problem, he will face it rationally and then find a way to solve it.

Because of this character, he can become the first god of the game. Because of this, when he was trapped by the Lord of Radiance to this other world, he not only left Greenstone alive, but also saved a city.

He still does.

Link knows very well that what can really change the bad rules of the East Valley School of Magic is not a few cries of dissatisfaction, but the power that makes everyone look sideways!

Being pulled by Link like this, Ellette came to his senses slightly, but his eyes were already red.

It's not that he hasn't seen social injustice, if it was in the past, he would never be so unable to control his emotions, but this matter, he cares too much, for this day, he did his best!

In order to make up for the tuition of 200 gold coins, he suffered a lot of unimaginable suffering.

He went to take on all kinds of bounty tasks, because he didn't know martial arts, he took on all kinds of investigation tasks, and every time he worked, he was dead; In addition to his tasks, he went to do all kinds of business, endured the extortion of hooligans and ruffians, and saved money one copper after another; From the age of ten, unless a friend had a treat, he only ate three coarse wheat bread a day, there was no meat, and the nutrition was not enough, so he went to the river in the middle of the night to catch small shrimp and fish to eat, and could only go in the middle of the night, because he was very busy during the day; He hadn't changed a new one in three years; The old horse that he rode over before was not his own, but a temporary gift from a friend who pooled money to give him.

Eventually, he heard that the East Valley School of Magic was harsh on commoners, so he tried to get a letter of recommendation from the nobles.

For this reason he slept with the fat and ugly countess for a whole month, and every night he endured terrible torments, and he abandoned all his reputation.

All this dedication, all this sacrifice, just for the magic dream in my heart, just to not waste my talent, just to prove myself and get ahead!

But now, when he finally saved enough money, got a letter of recommendation, and came in full of hope, reality gave him a blow in the face!

The other party's fluttering words raised the threshold for admission to a point where he couldn't bear it, and all his efforts turned into water.

Scraping together money again?

When he got 1500 gold coins, he must be more than 20 years old, and if he is unlucky, he may even die directly in the mission, and these years are the golden years of learning magic, how can he waste it so much?

At this moment, Ellett was angry, sad, and desperate, and when he was young, he saw that his goal was in front of him, but there was a layer of insurmountable moat in the middle, and his eyes were unconsciously red.

Is it really that difficult for a commoner to pursue his ideals? Ellett clenched her fists and tilted her head back to keep the tears from her eyes.

He can't let this watchdog see the joke!

But Vincent couldn't see it, he shook his head with a smile, and said cool words in his mouth: "Young man, I will show you a clear way." You go back now, find Countess Aritle, and serve her well, maybe she'll give you this money, hehehe." ”

Ellett trembled with anger, this incident was the shame of his life, Vincent's words, like a knife, cruelly uncovered the scar in his heart.

His face was flushed, his heart was pounding, and his fists were clenched tightly, and he now had a thought in his mind, which was to rush forward desperately and beat the old man to the ground.

Just when he couldn't help it, his arm was grabbed, he struggled hard, but the other party pulled him hard, and he couldn't break free: "Let go of me!" ”

Link's voice reached his ears: "Ellett, don't ruin yourself! ”

The voice was cold, like a bucket of ice water poured on Ellett's head, and his struggle suddenly weakened a lot.

He looked back and saw this young man of the same age as him, just looking at him quietly, shaking his head gently, in those black eyes, the light was very dim, that face, the appearance was very ordinary, but in his expression, there was a quiet power, it seemed that in this world, nothing could move him.

Quiet as a flat lake, cold as a blade.

This moment, this scene, is deeply rooted in Ellett's heart.

Years later, whenever he was angry, hesitant, and desperate, this scene would emerge and tell him how a magician should face this cruel and cold world.
