Chapter 226: Study
Then Lin Yiyan took the quill pen from the other party and dipped it in the ink provided by the other party. Fill it out on the form quickly.
Name: Lin Yiyan.
Age: Null.
Gender: Male.
Place of Origin: Huaxia.
Family: Null.
Use Magic: Null.
In less than half a minute, a document that was basically not filled in except for name, gender and background was handed back by Lin Yiyan.
The female magician in charge of the reception reached out to take it, and couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth. She didn't say anything, though, after all, she was just a receptionist, and there was no reason to go to a strange magician who was obviously covered by Sofia's house behind her.
Then the materials are bound and put away. Then he said again, "Please pay the tuition." ”
"How much?" Lin Yiyan said curiously.
"Twenty thousand pounds." Reception Channel.
"Pound ......," Lin Yiyan muttered, "There seems to be some such thing." ”
Lin Yiyan reached out and took out a large handful of pounds and put them on the counter. At the same time, he muttered in his heart, "Fortunately, I exchanged a lot in the HP world at that time, otherwise it would be really troublesome!" However, it seems that no matter what world it is, going to school is a very expensive thing. ”
It's no wonder that Lin Yiyan sighed so much, you must know that with the current world environment and British prices, 20,000 pounds is enough for the total amount of money spent by ordinary low-level British people in a year, and this is just the entrance fee to enter the clock tower. This shows how high the tuition fee of the clock tower is.
On the other side, after the receptionist took Lin Yiyan's pounds, he reached out and pressed it gently, and a glimmer of light that was almost indistinguishable without careful observation shone out from the money, and then he heard the female receptionist say, "The amount is just right." ”
It was clear that she had used some kind of trick in her previous simple press. Then the hostess said, "Choose the dormitory you want." ”
At the same time, he stretched out his arm and handed a thick booklet to Lin Yiyan. Lin Yiyan took it and opened it. Check out the contents of the booklet.
The content is very simple, it is a dormitory information material, which provides a detailed introduction to the dormitory situation in the clock tower - ordinary single rooms, deluxe private rooms, private rooms with laboratories, presidential suites, etc. But what makes people speechless is what. Each room is followed by a note that resembles a price list.
For example, a single room – £800 per month. Deluxe Room – £2,000/month. Studio with lab – £20,000/month. Presidential Suite – £53,000/month......
The price is against the sky, and it is definitely not something that ordinary magicians from the wild road or without a background can afford. Presumably, this is also a threshold deliberately set by the nobles of the Clock Tower, in order to increase the cost of learning magic, in order to reduce the number of magicians and limit the circulation of magic.
After all, for the famous nobles who have been around for a long time, this consumption is really nothing. Seeing this, Lin Yiyan looked up at the receptionist and asked, "I don't have so much cash in my hand, is gold okay?" ”
The receptionist was slightly stunned, glanced at Lin Yiyan, and then nodded, "Yes!" ”
"Oh! That's good! Lin Yiyan nodded, waved his hand, and about twenty neat gold bricks fell on the table, and then said to the receptionist, "These, look at the buckles!" As for the house, give me the best! Enough is asking me! ”
"........." For Lin Yiyan's such a tyrant behavior, the receptionist also twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly, and also reached out and pressed it, as if to confirm the value, and then handed a voucher and two keys to Lin Yiyan and said, "This is your receipt and dormitory key, please take it." Lin Yiyan nodded slightly and put things away.
"Miss Sofiari, it's okay." Then, the reception staff rushed to the side and stood with his arms crossed, and reported to Sora, who looked at everything in front of him with a cold expression.
"Come with me." Sora lowered her arms and turned to speak. After speaking, without waiting for Lin Yiyan to answer, he walked towards the small door not far away.
Seeing this, Lin Yiyan smiled low and followed. After a while, he and Sora left the British Library.
"Which subject are you going to take?" On the way, Sora asked. Speaking of which, we have to talk about the magic teaching method of the Clock Tower.
There are a total of thirteen courtyards inside the Tower, which are composed of the whole foundation (the common knowledge of magic, the leylines, and the great source), the individual foundation, the séance, the ore, the animal, the inheritance, the plant, the celestial body, the creation, the curse, the archaeology, the modern magic, and the law and politics. However, compared to the previous 12 items, the Famasa was mainly for those who volunteered to be politicians, and the teaching was not for the exploration of mysteries, but for the promotion of society, so it was not counted among the 12 faculties.
Therefore, the only thing that the tower really has for magicians is the first twelve subjects. The whole foundation is something that all magicians learn. It will take about five years. Of course, this refers to the normal situation, and if you are a genius like Aozaki Orange, you can also graduate early in a short time. Only then did they enter the academy controlled by the respective families or factions of the nobles for in-depth study.
For example, Kenneth's previous séance department was the academy mastered by Sofiari's family. Therefore, in the Clock Tower, the Sofia family also has the title of monarch. This is an honorific title for the power that controls the Academy. Above it, there are the three famous gates where the dragon can't see the tail. So in terms of power, the Sofia family is also the top in the Clock Tower.
"Séance." Lin Yiyan replied without hesitation.
"Yes." Sora walked for a moment, then returned to normal, and said coldly, "But if you want to get extra resources, you need to show enough value, otherwise even if I want to, I won't be able to help you." ”
"I understand." Lin Yiyan nodded and said.
"That's good." Sora was satisfied. There was a moment of silence between the two of them, which lasted until the area building where the Séance was located, only to be broken by the voices of Sora and the others.
"Olya, register him, from today onwards, he will be a student of the Spiritual Descent." Sora commanded a woman with long golden hair.
"Okay." The woman named Olya glanced at Lin Yiyan and nodded in agreement. Immediately, he took out a piece of paper from a stack of pages that was the same as the information form filled out at the door and handed it to Lin Yiyan. Lin Yiyan was not annoyed, took the form and filled it out again. But the content is still very simple, nothing is written except for identity and origin, so it didn't take long for him to fill it out and hand it back to Olya.
The latter reached out and took it, and after a casual glance, he casually threw the form aside.
"Let's go." Sola said.
Lin Yiyan nodded and followed Sola out of the office of the Descent Section. It's just that before he could take a few steps, Sora stopped again, turned to look at Lin Yiyan, and said in a cold voice with a faint sense of alienation than before, "Okay, I have done what I promised you, and the rest is up to you, I hope your performance will not be very embarrassing." ”
"I don't necessarily be the best, but I can still do it above average." Lin Yiyan said with a smile.
"If it's just that extent, then our relationship probably ends here. I'm not going to waste my time on a mediocrity. Sora said unceremoniously.
Lin Yiyan shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything. Seeing this, Sora snorted coldly and turned around to leave. But he was immediately stopped by Lin Yiyan again, "Wait a minute." ”
Sora turned back and looked at him with an emotionless look.
"I need an unlimited library card from the British Library, and I'm asking Miss Sola to take care of it for me." Lin Yiyan looked directly at Sola and said softly.
"I see, I'll have someone deliver a library card to your dorm later." Sora said coldly.
"Thank you, Miss Sola, then." Lin Yiyan smiled and bowed his head and thanked him. Sora glanced at Lin Yiyan lightly, didn't say anything, turned around and walked away.
"Da, da, da, da......"
"Hour Tower...... What a place of apathy. Lin Yiyan, who watched Sola walk away, muttered quietly. Then he didn't stay in the hallway long and walked towards the dormitory he rented. After three turns and five turns, ten minutes later, Lin Yiyan came to his dormitory.
"Huh." Lin Yiyan pushed the door and walked into the dormitory that now belonged to him.
Should it be said that it is worth 50,000 months of rent? The usable area of the room is not only large - there are hundreds of square meters in the eye-catching part, and the decoration is very elegant, just like the residence of the ancient European aristocratic family, full of exquisite atmosphere, bright color, making people have a sense of openness.
Inside, there are bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens and bathrooms, as well as laboratories that have been magically reinforced and protected, and it can be said that every place is a luxurious exaggeration. And in the lying room, there is a sheet that is large enough for three people to lie side by side. It was topped with a large white velvet silk quilt and a large aristocratic bed.
Seeing this, Lin Yiyan raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "It should be said that it is worthy of the presidential suite, and I also have the opportunity to enjoy the aristocratic life." ”
Then Lin Yiyan exited the room and turned around and left his dormitory. And follow the path in the tower that I barely remembered, and leave the tower through the small door through which I entered, and enter the city of London, and begin to prepare for the rest of life.
And the goal is to get a lot of money for yourself first! After all, in a place like the Clock Tower, where you want to pay for money, you don't have to think about stability if you don't have 1.8 million. Even if you still want to do something. The figure of this money has to be turned upwards, at least 10 million to make a foundation, otherwise it is a big problem just to start with the various materials needed for experiments.
Secondly, Lin Yiyan bought a large number of ingredients by himself, as the headquarters of the dark material understanding, British food is something that can only be enjoyed by non-humans, so in order not to let his stomach suffer in the future. Lin Yiyan still decided to do it himself and have enough food and clothing.
