Volume 1 Lonely Arcane Road 023 Provocation on
The magic equipment given by Master Ron, two sets of change of clothes, an acceptance note of 50,000 gold coins, Charlie's luggage is as simple as that.
Before leaving, Charlie looked for some information about the "Arcane Ring", and was shocked.
"Void Demon Hub" is located in the northeast of the continent, with an area of 230,000 square kilometers, is the site of the ancient magic war, the ancient powerhouse fought an earth-shattering war here, the continental plate was torn apart, the void was shattered, and it has not yet recovered, from time to time there is a wave of void energy pouring into the continent, setting off a terrifying elemental storm, even if there is the strength of the archmage, it cannot be freely shuttled in it.
However, it was precisely because of these qualities that the elemental energy in the Demon Hub was dozens of times more abundant than the rest of the continent, making it an ideal place for magicians to cultivate.
Hundreds of years ago, the powerhouses of the Wagland Continent joined forces to establish a school in the center of the magic hub, "Arcane Ring", standing still in the elemental vortex, enjoying rich elemental energy, since then, the Arcane Ring has jumped to the highest magic school in the continent, attracting countless geniuses from the mainland to study, and the rapid development of major fields, there are constantly great magicians breaking through and being promoted to Magisters, and the power is expanding at an unimaginable speed.
Hundreds of years have passed, the arcane ring has become a promotion ladder for the magister, and the influx of a large number of talents has made alchemy, enchantment, forging, inscription scrolls, magic jewelry and other specialties shine, monopolizing the high-end market of the Wagland continent, and becoming the object of the major forces on the mainland.
In this context, the administrators established the Arcane Ring Magister Association to establish the Principality of Magic, which is on a par with several secular political forces in the continent and ranks among the top forces in the continent.
In the face of this behemoth, both Master Ron and Duke Thomas are powerless, their influence is not enough to win any conditions for Charlie, everything can only rely on themselves.
The next evening, Charlie, carrying a large backpack, mingles with a group of teenagers who don't know each other and boards a small ocean-going ship.
Charlie turned around, Yolanda and Brian on the shore waved at him in the crowd, they were one of the few friends Charlie had since he came to this world, although they got along for a short time, but there was also a bit of friendship, Charlie had mixed emotions in his heart, waved goodbye to them, since he had made his choice, he should mix up when he came back.
With a few long whistles, the ship slowly sailed away from the berth of Haynes Harbor, and it was planned to follow the long coastline, from bottom to top, by sea, avoiding the treacherous Elwin Marshes, Iron Thorn Mountain, and Sogo Wetlands, to the Skyrim Harbor of the Nexus, a journey that would take a week and a half.
A group of 19 teenagers were crammed into a small room of less than 20 square meters, the floor of the cabin was damp, covered with sticky stains, the light was dim, the air was dirty, and the environment was unexpectedly poor.
Staying in this environment can't help but make people feel bored, and many people have already experienced seasickness.
Charlie didn't have this concern, after the boat was sailed, the chip automatically made some mediation, so that Charlie quickly adapted to the environment of the hull shaking, he only hoped that these people would not spit out, otherwise this spray would be the fuse of the chain reaction, a group of people sprayed, the sour smell would definitely ruin the whole journey.
The group of teenagers was about twelve years old, and Charlie was probably the oldest of them, and after entering the cabin, everyone dispersed, leaning against the cabin, holding their packages, and closing their eyes with caution against strangers.
Charlie pondered his current situation, in fact, he saw rows of clean little rooms above the cabin, numbering as many as eighteen, and they were not supposed to be sailors' rooms, because this was a magical ship, powered by a well-elaborate set of alchemical instruments, and did not require many crews, so why didn't these rooms be used by them?
Looking at this cabin again, in fact, the infrastructure of the cabin is not bad, because it is dirty, it seems that the environment is poor, it is reasonable, the ships of the Arcane Ring should retain some dignity of the magic temple, why do they have no scruples? Unless they feel that it is not necessary, Charlie guesses that the truth may be very realistic and cruel.
After all, it was a teenager, and someone began to talk to each other, and Charlie found some context in their gossip.
The Arcane Ring will recruit students every year, and only students who pass the entrance test will be regarded as real magic apprentices and receive high-end education from the Arcane Ring, usually such students have super high magical talents, and require them to be under the age of ten, like them are a few levels lower, and can only be used as miscellaneous servants on the periphery of the Arcane Ring, which belongs to the nature of part-time work and study, and the natural status is much worse.
Despite this, there are still countless teenagers on the continent who flock to it, and it is an honor to be associated with the Arcane Ring in any way.
After a brief encounter, the teenagers split into several small circles, and Charlie was undoubtedly the loneliest among them, and when he was asked about the origin of the magic apprentice, the group showed a disdain for friendship.
At this moment, the ship stopped, and the people in the cabin sensed something abnormal, and they all quieted down, listening intently to the movement outside.
Odd?
According to Charlie's estimate, the ship should not have left the port of Haynes at this moment, why did it stop?
Then, Charlie heard a burst of laughter mingled with the sound of messy footsteps, coming from a distance.
Charlie couldn't help but stand up, walked to the staircase, gently lifted the hatch above his head, and through the gap, he could see a group of brightly dressed young men and women stepping onto the deck, in high spirits, they were led by a middle-aged man, to the clean room.
Not!
In connection with the message he heard earlier, Charlie understood that the ship had arrived at another berth in Haynes Harbor and stopped at the mouth of the Haynes Junior Academy of Magic, and the official apprentice of the Arcane Ring had arrived.
Charlie sighed softly: "It's really too young!"
I don't know who coughed, attracting the eyes of a group of geniuses above their heads.
"Hey, is there anyone down here?" a girl dressed in a white gold-rimmed robe stopped, a lock of beautiful black hair fluttered down like a waterfall, a straight nose, slightly reddened pink cheeks, and snow-white and delicate skin, which made people can't help but feel a feeling of pity, and her pure and clear gaze fell on everyone through the grid on the deck.
Under the eyes of a group of bright young boys and girls, some people couldn't help but hang their heads, retreat slightly, and hide in the darkness of the cabin, facing the real genius boys, they lost the courage and self-confidence of Fang Cai.
The people above are glamorous, beautiful and confident, with an aura of focus between their gestures, like arrogant angels in heaven, while the people below are simple and gloomy, cowering and rickety, like humble ants, even if some people are not convinced, they cannot change the inferiority of the whole group.
Although the age difference between the two groups of people is not much, they are like mud in comparison.
"Qianxue, there is nothing surprising, these people are just a group of miscellaneous servants, it is already a great blessing to be on the same boat as us, of course they can only nest in the place where the slaves are stayed, and if they want to be released and run around, it will inevitably affect the mood, which the temple has done well. A blonde boy glanced down nonchalantly, his voice unusually soft.
After all, he is a teenager, and he can't bear to breathe, especially in front of beautiful women.
Someone stood up suddenly, pushed open the hatch overhead, looked at him with anger and disdain, and responded coldly: "What are you talking about? What's so great about you? Aren't you just relying on your own background? Without the support of your family, you're not bullshit! What is there to show off!"
Before opening the hatch, he was aggressive, however, after saying a few words, his momentum immediately weakened, and then his face turned slightly red, a little restrained, not because he was afraid of the blonde boy, but because of the two girls standing next to the blonde boy.
Beauty is lethal, not inferior to ability.
The girl called Qianxue naturally doesn't need to be mentioned, she was born with an aura of focus, standing next to her, you can't help but look at her, and you can't help but be ashamed of yourself, she perfectly interprets beauty and simplicity.
Another girl, wearing a plain short skirt, with naturally curly long hair scattered on both shoulders, stood there quietly, at first glance, immediately attracted by her pair of turquoise eyes, as crystal clear as agate gemstones, if Qianxue's label is exquisite, then her exclusive label is perfect, her face can not find any flaws even in the eyes of the most discerning people.
She is very tall, the best of all genius teenagers, with slender legs, a well-proportioned figure, without a trace of excess fat, such a perfect figure can only be presented under the master's brush, but how can the brush vividly present the temperament and charm of a real person.
Standing next to Qianxue, she is much quieter, she doesn't pay attention, she won't notice a beautiful shadow in the crowd, but as long as she sees her, she can't take her eyes off it.
It is no wonder that the boy lost his temper, and in the face of the two women, the people in the entire cabin felt that they were a little shorter, yes! Not only was their identity, status, wealth, and strength inferior to each other, but they were also inferior in appearance, and a few people with poor psychological quality simply hid in the darkness of the cabin and silently spied on the girls on the deck in the dark.
Is it really anger? Or is it a chance to meet a group of people above?
Charlie frowned slightly, it was not a good thing to kill out so unruly, Charlie paid special attention to the team leader on the side, he was a person from the Arcane Ring, and he didn't seem to be planning to stop the scene in front of him.
The blonde boy raised his eyebrows and laughed: "What? The mention of the word handyman touches your pathetic self-esteem? Haha! You only said one sentence correctly, I do have a good background, but I don't have to show off my background, I can also prove that you are a pile of garbage!"
The face of the young man he targeted was flushed, and it was undoubtedly a huge blow to suffer such humiliation in front of the goddess, and it made him feel ashamed that he could not be hardened at the critical moment, and he could not rush out of the crowd and plunge into the sea, and he might feel a little better.
The blonde boy glanced at the boy in the cabin, everyone had some fear in their eyes, and the boy standing in front of him was just a fierce and inward-looking, trembling with anger, but he didn't dare to really fight him, he felt that Charlie's eyes in the crowd were the most special, there was no humiliation, no anger, but a faint sarcasm, that gaze made him feel like a rattling monkey, childish and ridiculous, and he felt disgusted.
The blonde boy turned to Charlie and said, "Look at what?!" I said that garbage includes you, of course, all of you are garbage!"
