"Elf Singing" tavern.

There was a cacophony of people in his ears, and Levi completely stayed out of the way, quietly flipping through the strange tale codex, carefully turning each page and reading it line by line.

However, he got nothing.

Except for the title page, there is not a single word on this strange codex, not even a single pattern, or even a line, it is a genuine "wordless book".

The two lines of text on the title page are like a new puzzle, and the language is obscure, completely incomprehensible.

"If you fight with the dragon for too long, you will become a dragon yourself, and if you stare into the abyss for too long, the abyss will stare back. ”

"Look for strange stories, chase strange stories, write strange stories, and then you can write your own strange stories. But remember, keep your heart, don't turn into a strange talk. ”

Levi recited silently in his heart several times, chewing the aftertaste repeatedly, still confused, and did not have a clue.

"Who wants to write strange stories?" he covered his head in pain, and had the urge to spit out the fragrance, "If you lose such a big person, you get such a thing?"

As the man who solves the centuries-old mystery that has plagued the top of the dawn, Levi does not reap flowers and applause, but the heckling of the boys and the disdain of the girls.

As soon as he entered the school, he became a legend, but unfortunately, he was a legend in the laughing stock world.

Soon, Brad publicly announced that the philosophical puzzle was apparently a harmless joke.

He didn't bother to say anything, and everyone immediately believed it.

Because, it really fits the eccentric character of the mad sage. What's more, Brad carefully examined the strange tale codex and found that there was no trace of magic left on it, just that the paper was good and could withstand the erosion of time.

......

Levi gently held his forehead, looking depressed.

He couldn't guess the forerunner.

From the cynicism of the "sewer assembly" to the philosophical wisdom of the Tao, from the vulgar jokes on the obelisk to the Nietzsche aphorisms in the grotesque codex, Caesar Sparrow seems to have two personalities, good and evil, jumping back and forth between two diametrically opposed styles.

"Schizophrenia?" he shook his head and spit half-ventingly, "geniuses on the left, madmen on the right?"

After venting, Levi stabilized his mind, fell into deep thought, and tried to evaluate himself objectively as much as possible.

The strange Tale Codex seems to be just a joke.

The "law of cause and effect" of the mental contract is also an attic in the sky, which has no effect, let alone the ability to rewrite the past or erase the future. On the contrary, he observed that simple contracts, such as "wind" and "light", could enhance elemental sensing and manipulation, and some people could even cast spells directly.

As for the chaotic knuckles, they didn't show any difference.

The knuckles of chaos, the laws of cause and effect, the codex of weird conversations, Levi counted them on his fingers, they all looked beautiful, they were famous, and then, well, there was no more.

"I'm not going to be the worst of the traversers, am I'm sorry to be a traverser......" Levi shook his head helplessly, laughing at himself.

"Young master, come, take a drink!" Kane walked over, holding two large oak wine glasses in his hand, and after sitting down, he placed one of them in front of Levi, "I asked, this is the treasure of the town shop in the tavern, the spirit 'Hellfire' made from sugar cane juice." ”

"Hellfire?" Levi stared at the glass, which was refracted with a little bit of phosphorus fire, and couldn't help but smile wryly, "Uncle Kane, I'm not of legal drinking age yet." ”

"What is the legal drinking age?" Kane waved his hand, nonchalant, "I drank wine as water when I was six years old, it's not good?" This is to celebrate the young master you became a mage, and it is also your coming-of-age ceremony, after drinking this wine, you will be considered an adult." ”

"Here, take a bite of me!" Blaise leaned in, grimacing with a grimace, "I'm going to be an adult too." ”

This kid came to the top of dawn alone, and there were no adults around him, so he simply relied on Levi and ate and drank together.

"Well," Kane hesitated, reluctant to give away his wine, "then, you two will split half of this wine, and I'll do it first!"

With that, he drank it all and wiped his mouth heroically.

"This is teaching bad children by example......" Levi held his forehead again, sighing in his heart.

Blaise was in high spirits, and he asked the bartender for another glass, divided it in half, and drank it in one gulp, following Kane's example.

"To the adult, and to the school!" Levi was helpless, and also raised his glass, and drained the remaining half.

His eyes widened.

The sip was strong and hot, like hot lava running down his throat, and before it could reach his stomach, he turned into drunkenness, making his face flush and his mind sluggish.

"How do you feel? When you drink, you're a real man!" Kane laughed, and began to promote his own fallacies again.

Levi didn't answer, looked up at the other party, and asked softly, "Uncle Kane, are you leaving?"

He's smart, he's good at reasoning, and all sorts of clues have made him aware of something.

"Huh?" Kane's movements as he served his drink visibly stiffened, and after a moment, he nodded, "Yes, I have an appointment with Gladstone, and when you enter the school, I will go to the Hall of Splendor and become a servant of the Eternal Light." ”

"What is the Tracer?" Levi leaned forward, his expression solemn and a little nervous.

He knew in his heart that just becoming a Templar would require Kane to give the rest of his life, and the price of the Templar was obviously much greater!

"It's still early, it's not time for you to know......" Kane was silent for a while, taking a large sip of wine and smiling, "I'll tell you everything when you're on the same level as me." In addition to mine, there is also about your parents and family. ”

Levi took a deep breath, pointed his index finger to his heart, and said in a firm tone: "Uncle Kane, I swear, this day will never be too long. ”

"I never doubt that!" Kane said with a pleased smile and a red glow, "Young Master, you are the bloodline of the Chant family, and one day, you will definitely play the 'Song of Chant' again!"

He rubbed it in his arms for a while, then took out a money bag and solemnly placed it in front of Levi.

"Young master, I'm really sorry, my old man doesn't have any skills, he can't make money, but he spends money quite quickly......" Kane looked apologetic, "In the past few years, I have accumulated such a little possessions, you can take it! Don't shirk it, in the Hall of Glory, there is no difference between silver coins and stones......"

"Uncle Kane, thank you for everything. ”

Perhaps due to the effect of alcohol, Levi's eyes flushed slightly red, and he bowed ninety degrees and bowed deeply.

The bald old man in front of him, if he is placed in the eyes of others, is definitely not a knight. He is deceived and abducted, does not leave his cigarettes and alcohol, is frivolous and lascivious, and has a fault. But again, it was this man who gave almost everything to himself, which no knight could do.

......

The next day.

The top of the dawn.

Before Levi could fully collect his mood, he was hit in the face.

On the crystal wall, lines of magical text shine like stars, similar to bulletin boards, but the words are active, undulating from time to time, changing information in real time.

"Open classes and electives?" Levi asked, rubbing his chin, "Blaize, what do you mean?"

"There are two public classes a day and they are free. Blaise was well versed in the rules, pointing to a row of numbers, "Electives are charged, and the numbers below are the amounts, oh yes, if there is no additional marking, the units of measurement are gold coins." ”

"Gold?" Levi's eyes widened.

Kane's savings over the years are only more than thirty silver coins, and at the current exchange rate of nine to one, he can only exchange them for four gold coins.

And here, the cheapest courses are more than three gold coins!

"Most of the open courses are basic courses, such as high-dimensional mathematics, plane geometry, element topology, etc., all of which cost money, and they cost a lot of money. "Blaise is also greedy.

"Is this still a school called an 'ivory tower'? How is it like a gold hole?" Levi grinned as he was overwhelmed by the price points.

"Who's to say it isn't?" Blaise shrugged, his expression helpless, "This wall was named the 'Wall of Sighs' by Caesar, supposedly because too many people were hungry for courses and sighed because they didn't have the money. ”

God's Wall of Sighs!

The corners of Levi's mouth twitched.

Caesar also left a motto to spur the cadets at the top of the dawn. "Speaking of Caesar, Blaise's mouth is like a dam that can't stop for a moment," - calm, calm, the root of your problem is not enough money. ”

Not only did the corners of Levi's mouth twitch, but his entire face twitched with it.

"What's wrong? so ugly?" asked Blaise with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay......" Li Weiqiang laughed and waved his hand.

What about the cheat!

Seniors, there are many things you can learn from in this world, ** comrade is not bad, why should you learn from that?

"Although there are many places to spend money, there are also many ways to make money. Seeing that the other party was depressed, Blaise comforted, "For example, it's good to choose a support profession and become an assistant...... Also, the Top of the Dawn has a council, and if we create a new spell, or design a new magic equipment and magic array, we will have a lot of rewards after we get it. ”

"These are still far away, let's take an open class first. Levi took a deep breath and collected his emotions and said, "It's almost time, and it's about to start." ”

He looked at it: There are two public lectures today, one is the "Theory of the Four Elements," which is an explanation of the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire, and the other class in the afternoon is "The Theory of the Contradiction of the Two Laws," which describes the contradictions in the laws of the world, which refers to the mutual exclusion between the laws of motion of the two forces that are interrelated.

......

In the evening, the sun sets in the west.

Levi walked out of the class with a tired face, and every muscle in his body was drooping, like a puddle of walking mud.

His vision was distracted, his consciousness was blurred, and he was more tired than he had been through a vicious battle.

"Is this a magic class? or a philosophy class?" he kept rubbing his temples, and the soul bombardment of more than three hours made him miserable.

"My eyes, my ears, and my poor head!" said Blaise, covering his eyes, and then his ears, and then slamming his head, "No, I need to go to the opera and soothe my wounded heart." ”

"I need to go to the Temple of Wisdom. Levi shook his head, he had his own plan, "I just asked, in the Hall of Wisdom, some books are also free, but they can't be taken out." ”

"The books are all in the hall of wisdom, and I won't suddenly run away, so go to the opera with me first. Blaise couldn't help but say, and grabbed Levi's arm, "Don't worry, I'm in for a treat!" I remember, tonight's performance is "The Fairy Flute", performed by the tenor Mr. Paros himself......

"Do you still have money?" Levi looked puzzled, he knew that this kid had been eating and drinking with him for the past two days.

"There is still money to watch the opera. Blaise said calmly, "You can skip the meal, but you must watch the opera." ”

“......”
