Emster City rarely glimpses the green, the city built in the mountains is dusty, and the streets are filled with people from all over the Spur Empire, because of the chaos of law and order, and there are also people who have committed crimes in other countries to beg for a living.

An ordinary person walking on the street, he may be a fallen nobleman, a scholar who has not yet made his mark, or a commoner, but he is more likely to be a criminal who has escaped.

The city of Amster is the center of the entire Grand Parish, and the locals make a living by raising livestock.

There are the best war horses of the Spur Empire, and even the entire continent.

Some are raised in the alpine area and eat the most chewy beef. Cashmere is produced, cheese is produced.

Meat and cheap vegetables are expensive, and vegetarian dishes such as onions and potatoes that are easy to store are often seen in the market, and green leafy vegetarian dishes are something that can only be enjoyed by the rich and noble.

Husbandry is developed, the land is vast and sparsely populated, every autumn when the grass begins to wither and yellow, the whole of Amster does not see greenery, walking on the streets of Amster City, the faces of pedestrians are gray, and the lack of water makes it a luxury to bathe every day.

But there is one exception.

Not only is it always green, but even if there is a drought in the entire Emst region, there will be no shortage of drinking water - the "Amster School of Magic" is built on the plateau and mountains, on the roof of spurs, under the blue sky and white clouds.

As the only magic school in the Grand Parish, the students do not live an ascetic life as outsiders think.

The best meat-eating, expensive fruits, fresh dairy products and vegetables are given priority for students. The high annual tuition fees of the academy are not only due to the hiring of teachers and the consumption of learning, but also the weak constitution of the mages makes the Academy of Magic pay great attention to the quality of the students' diet.

As one of the few darlings among the thousands of people on the continent who can sense the magic element, under the chanting of the spell, a water magic can solve the drought problem, how can the Amster School of Magic not be shaded?

and Lydia picked a clean restaurant and tasted local barbecue, and Liu Ci and Lydia worked hard to enter the magic academy.

The college encircled two hills on a large scale, and the school site was built on the top of the mountain, and it was all up to climb all the way, which made Liu Ci feel deeply distressed.

If it weren't for the fact that she and Lydia had the "credentials" issued by Lady Betty, and that they were swordsmen with big swords, it would have been almost a fool's dream to sneak into the academy.

The magic elements under the inconspicuous walls were extremely active, and Liu Ci felt that it was also a well-guarded "prison" in the Great Universe Era.

Young men and girls walking on the tree-lined paths with books in their arms can be seen everywhere, laughing and talking, discussing the old spell on a certain parchment scroll, the sun seeping through the shade of the trees, and even Liu Ci is envious of the green years.

Of course, there are also young mages with eyes above the top, and they are very "disdainful" when their eyes sweep over Liu Ci and Lydia.

Liu Ci secretly scolded the "little fart child", but he was unhappy because he was looked down upon...... Disdain your sister, you can be a five-star magician at a young age?

The man who led the way led Liu Ci to a small building, where the beige dome of the two-story building was revealed between the branches, and the walls were occupied by creepers, which should be very shady in the summer.

"Mr. Kathy, someone from the Mercenary Guild is here."

The door was ajar, and a somewhat cold male voice came from inside: "Oh, let them in." ”

The leader led Liu Ci and Lydia in, and left on their own.

A tall and thin man in a gray mage robe turned his back to Liu Ci, looking for something on the shelf, it seemed that the process was not going well, and his frowning brows could be seen from the side.

Liu Ci's sharp eyes noticed that there was no pentagram on the collar of the other party, and those who could be called teachers in the Academy of Magic could not be magic apprentices, which meant that this thin and tall young man had at least the strength of a "great magician".

"The Discussion of the Scrolls...... Where to put it. After a long time of not finding what she was looking for, Ms. Casey couldn't help but muttered to herself.

Liu Ci's gaze swept over the bookshelf, "On your left, the sixth grid in the second row." ”

"Sure enough, it's here."

With the help of Liu Ci, Teacher Casey found the "Discussion of the Scroll" he was looking for, pulled it out vigorously, flipped it twice, and suddenly remembered something, and suddenly turned his head and said:

"Hey, how did you get in?"

Liu Ci shrugged: "We took over the mercenary mission issued by your academy at the Moi Tavern. ”

Mr. Casey was a young man of about thirty years, tall and thin, with the palest face of any mage, a faint blue color under his deep eye sockets, a thin and angular face, a high nose bridge and sea-blue eyes, which made him look morbidly handsome.

A magic teacher with a very temperament, but the words he says are not so good.

"Why did you send two female swordsmen to ...... this time?"

Lydia said coldly, "Do you look down on women or swordsmen?" ”

The controversy between magicians and swordsmen has lasted for thousands of years on the mainland, and Mr. Casey is unwilling to easily provoke a "war", so he closed the "Discussion of the Scroll" in his hand, and said:

"Apologies for my abruptness, I mean the two ladies look ...... Not quite like a swordsman, there have been a lot of people who have lost their lives for this task. ”

His gaze stayed on Liu Ci for a few more moments, Lydia still looked like a female swordsman, she really looked like a pampered aristocratic lady, and the big sword on her back didn't look like eating the bowl of "mercenary".

Liu Ci was noncommittal, "Please also tell us about the mission issued by your academy," Lady Betty from Moy's Tavern said vaguely. ”

Teacher Casey nodded, "That's nature, please take a seat." ”

He invited Liu Ci and the others to sit down, and he also sat on the chair behind the desk.

Pressing the bell on the table, a young red-haired girl pushed the door in: "Teacher Casey, do you have something to order?" ”

Seeing that she was dressed like the maid in Liu Ci's house, Teacher Casey was very gentlemanly and asked, "What do you want to drink, there is milk and tea here, and probably some juice has been prepared." ”

Liu Ci asked for tea, and Lydia chose milk.

The red-haired maid brought the three of them their drinks, and Teacher Casey said, "I haven't officially introduced it yet, my name is Izzy Casey, and I teach the second year in the academy and am also in charge of the library. ”

Liu Ci lowered his head and took a sip of tea, an unknown tea leaf, with a bitter fragrance when he drank it.

"The library you're talking about, the one that needs to post a mission at the Moy Tavern?"

Teacher Casey nodded, "The Amster School of Magic and Wizardry has been built for thousands of years, and there are many ancient buildings, and there are several libraries, which are scattered around the academy. The library where the accident occurred was Building 6, which was the most remote location, behind the second-grade practice range, so it was under my management. ”

It all started half a year ago.

Among the students studying at Amster School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, few come to make a living, and everyone works hard.

One day half a year ago, a student was too late on the practice field and wanted to take a shortcut back to the dormitory from the back of Library No. 6, but when he passed by Building No. 6, he heard beautiful singing coming from inside.

The second-grader was not very interested in music, and after listening to it for a while, he left.

The next day, he was inexplicably seriously ill.

After him, many of the students who heard singing in the library in the middle of the night were either seriously ill or confused, as if they had forgotten who they were. There was a lot of panic in the academy, and the teachers went to check it, and the song seemed to be spiritual, and it never came out when the teachers appeared.

The academy had to temporarily seal Building 6.

However, strange things happened in the Academy of Magic still had to be solved, and in the end, the Academy simply issued a mercenary mission at the Moi Tavern to act with a bounty and find a solution.

However, the mercenaries who took over the mission all mysteriously disappeared after entering Building 6 at night.

The supernatural events in Building 6 are getting more and more evil, and Mr. Casey, as the direct manager of Building 6 and responsible for the teaching of the second grade, is also very anxious.

After listening to this, Liu Ci thought for a while and asked:

"I'm angry, even if there are resentful spirits, can't the Academy of Magic deal with this little thing?" The wraith is a dark attribute monster, and if the Amster School of Magic can't even solve this matter, Liu Ci will be heartbroken for the tuition fees she sent Rachel and George to school.

Teacher Casey's pale face was embarrassed, "Every student is precious, and the academy can't let them take risks." As for the teachers in the academy, everyone has their own research, and they don't want to care. ”

Lydia's face turned pale after hearing this, and Liu Ci also felt that it was not a good taste.

Students are precious, teachers don't have time, as long as they have money, mercenaries are cheap, and they should be asked to fill their lives, right?

Now she's really a little worried about Arnold, the stupid big man won't really fall into it, right......

Teacher Izzy Casey saw that Liu Ci and the two did not speak, and he did not urge.

Although the words are ugly, this is the case on the mainland, the life of a magician is more expensive than that of a swordsman, but Liu Ci looks very young, and it is not easy for a female swordsman to eat mercenary meals, he hopes that Liu Ci can refuse the "mission" at this time.
