Chapter 03: Blood Elf Academy of Magic (3)
Dinner Angel was eaten at home.
The dining table is covered with a dozen or so insects that emit shimmering light, which has become the main lighting in Angel's house.
Recently, due to the explosion in the boiler room of the bathhouse a year ago, there was no fire under the sacred tree to even light the fire. This is a reform pushed by the Archon, Lord Cornelia. If it blows up again, the magician probably won't be able to use fire magic.
Well...... In that case, the Academy of Magic would have to be relocated.
Fortunately, it didn't. Otherwise, it may be that not only the Academy of Magic will have to be moved, but also Angel's family will have to move. After all, her mother made her money from fire magic.
As for whether there will be a second ...... Probably only Angel knows.
The family sat at the table and ate dinner in silence.
"How's your job?" asked Angel's mother.
"Fine, everything is fine. ”
"I can't see you every day except for dinner, and I have to work during the day and at night, which is a little longer. ”
"Yes, but I'm having fun doing it. Angel replied with a smile.
Angel's father raised his head and interjected, "It's only 40 silver shells a month, which sounds like a temporary worker." If you are a gardener, you can do more than that. There can be at least 100 silver shells. Even the gardener's apprentice had 60 silver shells. ”
"But I'm having fun doing it. Angel repeated with a smile. After thinking about it, he added, "Didn't you say that my first job was as long as I was happy? I'm very happy now, happier than when I used to learn archery, and I like it very much." Maybe I was born to work instead of learning archery. ”
After quietly looking at Angel for a while, Angel's father put down his knife and fork and said softly, "But we don't even know what your job is." Angel, it's been a long time since you've communicated with us. We are your parents and your guardians, and we need to know your specific situation. Even with bad news, it's better to know what difficulties you're having than to know nothing. Isn't it?"
"Father, I know what you mean, but I'm already a person who started working. Believe me, I'll let you know what my job is, and I'm sure you'll be proud of me. But until then, please give me a little personal space to keep this secret so that I can ...... So that the time will surprise you. As he spoke, the corners of Angel's mouth rose slightly, and a smiling face was propped up.
Angel's parents looked at each other silently.
There was silence for a long time before Angel's father said, "Okay. We give you space and hope you don't betray our trust. ”
As he spoke, he picked up his knife and fork and continued to eat.
"I won't, father!" replied Angel.
"I think I can, too. Angel's mother nodded, but said with bad intentions, "But I think you should start paying the family." ”
"Home?" Angel was stunned for a moment.
"Yes. 40 silver shells is so much that if you don't already have a place to live and don't have to pay for breakfast and dinner yourself, I wonder if it's not enough for you to live. Therefore, I think you should be given a little pressure, and after paying the family, you will really feel the less 40 silver shells. Pay half, 20 silver shells are fine. The remaining 20 silver shells are enough for you to eat lunch. ”
Angel was stunned, staring blankly at his ill-intentioned mother. Only when he reacted did he quickly look at his father.
I guess I was looking for a little help.
However, no, his dear father was eating silently with his head bowed, as if he had not heard anything.
After a short silence and stunned, Angel quickly stood up, and then said: "I'm full! Father, mother, I have something to do at night, go first!"
After speaking, before his parents could react, Angel had already stood up, picked up his coat and ran out.
"Where are you going!"
"I'm probably going back late tonight, you don't have to wait for me! I've got the key!"
As he spoke, Angel had already rushed downstairs.
Listening to the shouts from afar, Angel's mother was helpless: "This child, what is he doing?"
"As long as you're not doing something bad. The father, who had already eaten, burped, then spread his hands and said, "I was like him when I was younger." It was only at the age of 80 that I found my direction in life – to become a gardener. Maybe it's good to let him touch it and suffer some setbacks. After all, flowers in a greenhouse can't be strong. Give him some space. ”
The mother turned her face to glare at her father, but only sighed.
......
"Do you think they're going to secretly investigate what I'm doing?"
"I don't think so. It's been a year, maybe they really trust you. ”
"They trust me, but I'm lying to them?"
"No! No, I must correct your notions!" the devil hurriedly defended, "To deceive, you must first be trusted. How can you deceive if you are not trusted?"
"So, I was right to deceive the people who trusted me?"
Of course, this is a complete false proposition. You have to have trust before you can deceive, so there is no such thing as deceiving people who trust you. ”
"But I always think it's not good......"
"Don't feel that way, you are forced. If they hadn't forbade you to study magic, you'd have been studying at the Academy of Magic for 21 years. The real victim is you, and it's because of their mistakes!"
After thinking about it, although he hesitated, Angel finally nodded: "As long as I become a great magician, and I don't fall like my brother and be tempted by the devil, they will agree with me and find out that they are wrong, right?"
"Yes, that's what it means. ”
"Wait, you're the devil, and you're tempting me every day. ”
"Uh...... I said I didn't believe you, and yes, that's what happened. The point is, you don't seem to have a second way to go, unless you're planning to drop out of school and actually become a florist. Would you like to?"
Angel stopped and looked at the devil beside him quietly, and after a while, he said, "Okay, I believe you are not tempting me. ”
After that, continue to walk forward.
"Hahahaha, yes, that's it. The devil finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the blink of an eye, Angel came to the Academy of Magic.
The magic academy that entered the night, although it was not brightly lit, was much better than other places. At least the "street lights" are on.
You must know that Cornelia's new rule is that only "insect light" can be used for lighting.
What does this mean?
This means that the cost of lighting has increased several times.
You know, light bugs don't come cheap. The price of one light insect is about the same as the price of one lamp, but it takes ten light insects to emit light similar to that of one lamp. And you have to feed and you have to change.
And in view of the spirit of the blood elves merging with nature, the imprison light worms for lighting should not exceed a month at most. This means that they have to be returned to the farm after a month...... Then buy it again.
Back at school, Angel went to Amos' office to change his clothes before heading to the election site.
Yes, he changes his clothes twice a day. When I went home, I wore civilian clothes, and when I arrived at school, I changed into the magic robe of the magic apprentice. As for the school stuff, he would never dare to take it home. The same goes for books. Every day has to be lived carefully.
However, he didn't seem to see anything wrong with this kind of life.
Along the hallway, in the distance, he could already see a large classroom full of people.
There was another person waiting for him at the door.
Who? Moshalili.
Seeing Moshalili, Angel was stunned for a moment.
"You came! I knew you were coming, because you said today that you were interested in the academic affairs post!" Moshalili hurriedly ran over and stood in front of Angel.
Angel looked at her expressionlessly: "So...... What are you doing here?"
"I'm also here to run for the academic office. ”
"You're also interested in academic affairs?"
"Actually, I'm not particularly interested, but I think it's reasonable for you to be interested! I'm going to learn from you!" Moshalili said with a serious face, "And we are friends, if we enter together, we can take care of each other." ”
As she spoke, Moshalili tilted her head mischievously.
This small action was directly ignored by Angel: "You wait a minute. ”
Angel passed by and walked over to a desk that was set in the door of the classroom. On that desk was a note that read "Registry Office." There were also two magic apprentices seated.
"I've signed up for the election, what should I do?"
"Sign your name. One of the magic apprentices handed Angel a watch and pointed to the pen on the table. He didn't even lift his head.
"What are you signing for?"
"Means you've arrived, so we'll give you a number. ”
"Okay. Angel bowed his head and signed his name: "Are all the people on this side here here to participate in the election?"
"Yes. ”
"Sixty of them?"
"Yes. ”
"Sixty people competing for six positions?"
"Yes, is there any problem?" The magic apprentice raised his head and glanced at Angel, and was stunned for a moment: "Are you ...... Are you the special admission?"
"Yes, what's the problem?"
"No, it's no problem, your name is ......" glanced down before the magic apprentice pronounced Anjar's name, "Your name is Anjar?" sorry, I didn't remember your name, but I still have a good impression of your appearance. You're running for election too?"
Angel turned and walked away as if he hadn't heard anything, leaving the magic apprentice who asked him questions to sit awkwardly. It attracted the attention of the people around him.
There were more people staring at Angel all of a sudden.
Back next to Moshalili, Angel whispered, "Oh my God, it's sixty people competing for six positions. I thought it would be easy. ”
"No, it's never easy. After all, there is a subsidy to take, isn't it?" Moshalili sighed helplessly.
"Then how do you know we can be elected together?"
"I'm just thinking about it, thinking about it. Maybe we can't make it, so why don't we come next time? My senior sister told me that as long as you persist, you can always choose. She said that persistence means taking it a few more times so that the people who vote will think you're familiar. And then I voted for you. ”
"So......" Angel asked hesitantly, "do we still have to be acquainted?"
"Yes. ”
"We couldn't be chosen the first time?"
That's what she said. Moshalili smiled sweetly: "Maybe we can make an appointment to come together in the future, and then ...... together"
"Nope. Before she could finish speaking, Angel had already said: "I don't want to wait, I don't even want to run for a second time." I'm going to pick it this time. ”
With that, Angel had already turned around and left. Leaving Mosalili standing messy in the wind, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Have you figured out how you're going to be elected?" asked the devil eagerly.
"I haven't thought about it, but I can try. It's just a familiar face, and I think I'm sure. ”
"Exactly?"
Without answering, Angel walked directly to the registration office where he had just signed and found the magic apprentice who said he knew him.
"Hello, my name is Angel. As she spoke, Angel held out a hand towards him.
The magic apprentice was still a little depressed because of Angel's rudeness, but suddenly he was a little flattered: "Hello. Not...... Is there anything I can do to help you? I mean, what are you looking for me? ”
"I just wanted to apologize to you. Sorry, I just remembered something important and walked away before I could introduce myself. I hope you don't mind. ”
"No, of course I wouldn't mind. Of course not. The magic apprentice smiled awkwardly.
"What did you just tell me? I'm a little distracted. I mean what you said before I left. ”
"Oh, I'm asking if you're here to run. ”
"Yes. I'm very interested in vascular management. ”
"Yes, I'm also a member of the Vascular Society. ”
"Really, do you have the right to vote?"
"Yes. What's wrong?"
Angel was silent for a moment, then slowly put on a smile and said, "Can you introduce other voting people to me to know?"
"You want to meet other people?"
"Yes, after all, if I was chosen, I would probably work with everyone. I want to work together first. It's also good to understand the work of the maintenance committee. ”
"Of course, I'll introduce you to a few people now. With that, the magic apprentice quickly stood up and said to the person beside him, "I'll go away." ”
"Okay. ”
Following the magic apprentice who was supposed to be in charge of registration at the door, Angel walked into the classroom.
Outside the classroom, Moshalili looked dumbfounded: "He seems to be ...... It's already cooked. ”
After thinking about it, she comforted herself again: "It's okay, what's the matter? Even if he chooses, I can't...... Every time I come in the future, he will at least vote for me. Isn't it?"
......
"I've noticed that you're getting more and more cunning, hehe, yes, so you'll get mixed up quickly. Then again, you're getting more and more comfortable with white lies. "The devil is praising Angel in his ear.
Angel didn't answer, he was trying to make himself look enthusiastic by carefully greeting the large group of voting rights around him. At the same time, make an effort to remember their names.
