Chapter 13 Examinations

Arthur stood on the corner of the street, looking out at the tower-shaped building in the distance, thinking that it was Mangala College.

Mangala College is located in the northern district of Mangala City, due to the influx of students from a radius of 100 miles, it has gradually formed a commercial area dedicated to providing services for students, and some students from poor families often come here to do odd jobs to earn living expenses, after all, the Principality of Gavin only provides a lot of scholarships and living allowances to congenital warlocks.

The more he walked in the direction of the academy, Arthur found that the ordinary street where he was was full of traffic, all kinds of carriages and pedestrians, most of them adults with bags and teenagers of eleven or twelve years old. The immature faces of these teenagers and girls still have a trace of yearning and fear for their future life.

This area is not as luxurious as the East End, it is very simple and practical, and the roads are very wide. Well~ After all, it is a school district, and the students in the college are not necessarily rich. Arthur looked at the simple clothes of the people, as if he had thought of something, and looked back at the man behind him.

Xiao Zhao was still looking at the east and west lively, and his delicate little nose sniffed at a restaurant, as if trying to find out the source of this aroma. Creek's expression was serious, and he followed behind him with serious vigilance, fulfilling his duty as a guard. Compared with Crick's nervousness, Chris is a big ha, yawning from time to time, the sleepiness in his eyes can't be hidden, and he looks listless.

Arthur wanted to laugh in his heart, such a person with a very different personality was still very harmonious around him, and there was no conflict. But......

"Hey, Crick!"

"Hmm, young master, please command."

When Crick heard the young master's summons, he immediately said respectfully, and a man and a woman next to him also focused their eyes on Arthur.

Arthur looked at the endless crowd and said, "So many people are walking towards the academy early this morning, there may be something lively on the academy side, so ......"

Arthur paused, turned his head, and looked up and down at the trio, who were still dressed in the clothes of the servants of Snow House.

"So Young Master Ben thinks it's necessary to buy clothes for you!"

Seeing that the young master pointed to a high-end clothing store next to him, the three of them reacted, and each looked at themselves, too, they have been wearing clothes printed with the mark of Snow House, and after a long time, they have been negligent. This time, I didn't go shopping with the young master, but I accompanied the young master to take a sneak peek at the future young lady. You can't wear Snow House clothes, it's too obvious.

Arthur didn't say much, and went straight into the clothing store, and the three Cricks immediately followed the young master in. The shopkeeper who was idle on the side, and the moment Arthur and his party entered the door, his eyes swept very viciously at the three people behind Arthur who were wearing the clothes of the Snow family. I was secretly happy in my heart, and said in my heart, "The people of the Snow family are big business." Wouldn't this young man who is too young to talk to have a bigger background?" As a result, the shopkeeper still doesn't know that the stupid young man in Snow Mansion is no longer stupid, after all, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. As soon as it was said that the little lady had stolen someone, the whole block immediately knew about it.

The shopkeeper's heart blossomed, and he immediately changed into a chrysanthemum-like smiling face and walked towards Arthur. I couldn't help but shout in my heart, "Big family, big family" immediately greeted Arthur warmly, and said, "This young master, what kind of clothes do you want to buy?" Our store has a new batch of new models, which are made of the skin of the monster blue-horned rhinoceros, which has a strong defensive effect on some spells......

Arthur listened to the shopkeeper chatter about how good his clothes were, and looked back and forth in the store. Occasionally nodding his head, praising the good clothes, the shopkeeper seemed to take a cool shower on a hot day, and recommended more expensive clothes to Arthur more enthusiastically.

"This young master, look at this cloak, it is made of the skin of the deep-sea monster red-spotted fat-toothed whale. Isn't it handsome with natural red markings? This cloak will definitely make you the most dazzling presence of the banquet......"

"Young master, look at this again, this is a boot inlaid with rare colored gold thread, this handicraft technology can be said to be extremely high-end, I believe that this is the only one in the entire city of Mangala. Its size is also very compatible with you, young master, it is almost like it is specially made for you......"

"And this ......"

Arthur waved his hand to signal the shopkeeper to be quiet for a while, and said to the latter, "Help Young Master Ben pick out a suitable dress for this little girl."

Xiao Zhao has been following behind his young master and the shopkeeper, hearing the young master's words, although he knew that he came to buy clothes for himself, he couldn't help but stomp his feet excitedly, and directly pounced on the young master, and threw himself into the arms of the young master.

"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master, young master is the best"

Xiao Zhao said excitedly, she was so happy that she was about to cry. Xiao Zhao's family had a hard time when she was a child, and the clothes she wore were all tattered, and she was mended by her mother. By the time she was six years old, it was also winter, her mother froze to death, and her father, in order to survive and for her sake, sold her into Snow House. Afterwards, after six or seven years, Xiao Zhao never saw his father again, and he may have died. The only new dress she had was given to her by the housekeeper Fubo when she entered the house, but the size was too big, she was too young, and it was loose to wear. After all, the maids recruited by Snow Mansion are all over ten years old, and it is inevitable that the clothes are not suitable. But Xiao Zhao is very happy, really happy, she finally wears new clothes, not by picking up fabrics that others don't want and sewing and mending them.

Later, after more than half a year, because Xiao Zhao was hard-working and had a strong sense of responsibility, he was arranged by Fubo to take care of Arthur. Although Arthur was stupid at the time, as if he was living in a dream, he also knew that it was not easy for such a young girl to take care of herself, and he often gave Xiao Zhao delicious food. Xiao Zhao was moved to cry, Xiao Zhao can still remember the scene when the tiger-headed young master took out the osmanthus cake from his arms and forcibly handed it to her, she took a bite of the osmanthus cake, the taste was sweet to her heart, it was the best thing she had ever eaten.

Arthur was inexplicably pounced by Xiao Zhao, isn't it just to buy clothes. And there are outsiders out there. Grabbing Xiao Zhao's pigtails, he motioned for Xiao Zhao to take her head buried in his chest out of his arms.

"Hey, hey, Xiao Zhao, snot, snot"

Finally coaxed Xiao Zhao and asked her to follow a female clerk upstairs to try on clothes, Arthur was a little embarrassed to look at his chest stained with snot and tears and unknown red pastry residues, his face was helpless, turned his head to look at the shopkeeper who was still a little stunned, and said with a smile, "Annoying, help me pick another set, and my two entourage"

......

Arthur tried a white coat with gold thread, the clothes were well made, and there was soft plush inside, which was not only comfortable but also lightweight, and did not feel cold.

"Shopkeeper, what's going on today, why is everyone running into the academy?" Arthur said casually in front of the mirror for a long time.

The shopkeeper's abacus crackled and thought, and when he heard Arthur's question, he stopped what he was doing and said with a smile: "Young master, you are a foreigner who has come to do business with the Snow family."

Arthur smiled and nodded in the mirror.

"It's no wonder, today is the last day of registration for Mangala Academy, I have to say that you came at the right time, young master."

"Just in time?"

The shopkeeper seemed to have settled the account, closed the account book and said with a smile: "Because today, it is also an exam for the promotion of the junior warlock class to the middle grade warlock class."

"Huh, what is the test?"

"In the battle, the junior warlocks fought against each other, and then twenty were decided, and from these twenty to the intermediate class. This exam is taken twice a year, so there's nothing to fuss about."

The shopkeeper didn't care, there was a hint of superiority in his tone, and it was well hidden, and Arthur didn't care when he heard it.

"This year is a bit special, a little more exciting than previous years"

"Hahahaha, this has something to do with their Snow family," the shopkeeper pouted at Creek, "It seems that their future young lady also took the exam." ”

"Oh...... That's a lot more fun," Arthur said with a long voice, his fingers wiping the few fluffs that had grown on his chin, and he smiled a little playfully. There was a gleam in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
