In the office, Amos took out his seal, slowly stamped it on Angel's watch, and then said with a grin: "Okay, you have been specially admitted as a student of the Academy of Magic." From today onwards, you are my special enrollment. ”

Bernice stood aside with an angry look on her face, but helpless.

"Is there any difference between special enrollment and regular enrollment students?" said Angel as he reached out and took the watch from Amos.

"Did you just remember to ask this now? I thought you already knew. Coughing dryly, Amos continued, "There will be some small differences, for example, special enrollment does not have to pay tuition. ”

"I don't have to pay for tuition?" said Angel's eyes widened with excitement. Because of the gray face, the hair has been burned, and the face has not been cleaned up, which looks very funny.

"Uh...... Is that something to be happy about?" asked Amos.

"Of course, isn't it?" Angel's eyes flickered: "After all...... After all, it's always good not to have to pay for it. Nobody likes to have money out of their pockets. ”

"Well......" Amos looked at Angel with a puzzled expression, and was silent for a moment before he continued: "You are indeed very good, I like it very much, but it is not good that you care about money very much. Magicians spend money, and no magician has ever liked to make money. Any experiment is tens of thousands of silver shells. The goblin-like personality is not suitable for being a magician, and you need to change it. ”

As he spoke, Amos turned to face the bookshelf, as if looking for something.

Angel muttered in a low voice: "Then the premise is that you have to have money to squander, can you do it if you don't care if you don't have money?"

"What did you say?" Amos turned back with a pamphlet in his hand.

"No, I didn't say anything!" Angel hurriedly shouted.

Bernice looked at him meaningfully.

"You hold this, it's the Magic Academy manual. Amos reached out and handed the pamphlet to Angel.

"Spell book?" Angel reached out and took it, flipping it over.

"No, it's not a magic book, it's all about the magic academy that will help you settle in quickly. Each enrolling magic apprentice will be given a copy, this one is the one I used before, I can give it to you first. ”

Bernice stared at Amos in surprise.

"Okay, I'll finish it today. Angel replied excitedly.

"You don't have to read it today, it's never too late to take it out and flip it when you need to. Amos spread his hands and said, "There are detailed lists of the differences between special enrollment and ordinary students, in fact, there are only a few. There is no tuition fee. After moving up to the senior year, each student will have a fixed mentor who will learn the magic in a fixed direction. Special admissions can only choose the magician who recommended them to the school as a tutor. ”

"So I can only choose you?" said Angel hesitated.

"Aren't you happy?" Amos' brows furrowed, his eyes widening.

"No! no...... I, very willingly. Angel smiled awkwardly.

"Also, I have to make sure that you graduate, and if you don't graduate, then I will be disqualified from using the special recruitment quota. Your graduation examiner cannot be me, it must be drawn at random. ”

"I see. Anything else?"

"And ...... Report the day after tomorrow?"

"Enrolled the day after tomorrow?"

"Of course not, there is an exam the day after tomorrow. I want you to take the test with the junior students, and I think you'll definitely be able to pass it. This way, you don't have to spend time in the early grades learning things that you already know. I'll help you out with the rest. ”

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

"The exam is in the afternoon, but you have to come in the morning, and I have to let you know how the exam is conducted first, so as not to make a fool of yourself. After all, you are my special enrollment, but it is my face that is lost. ”

"Okay, thank you! Thank you, Master Magus!"

"You should call me Mentor. ”

"Thank you, Mentor!" Angel bowed.

Bernice next to her frowned, and looked at Amos with a stunned expression.

After Angel left, Bernice asked in a low voice, "So, did you deliberately make him unsuccessful, and then accepted him as his special enrollment." Then his mentor must be you. ”

"Uh...... Did I say that?" Amos looked stupid and cute.

"Isn't it?" Bernice's eyes widened, "In the tradition of the School of Magic, it is the greatest compliment to the students that they gave the School of Magic manual when they entered the school. That's obvious, isn't it?"

"Shhhhh But after the basics, I felt that something was wrong. His basic knowledge is much better than that of the younger students here. And...... It's kind of weird. I suspect someone is teaching him. ”

"Someone is teaching him?" Bernice was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, and it's the graduate of the Academy of Magic who is teaching him. The order of the runes he dictated was not what we use now, but was obsolete a hundred years ago. In fact, the order of elimination is correct, but it's just too hard to remember and too hard to learn. Also, his ancient elven language is very good. You say that no one taught him, and I don't believe it. I even suspect that he has a magician in his family, and he has been learning the ancient elven language since he was a child. ”

Bernice looked at Amos in amazement.

Amos paced back and forth, continuing to say to himself, "This student is wonderful, and the desire for magic can be seen in his eyes. In fact, I had already decided to have him before the actual combat test. I didn't expect him to surprise me again in the actual combat test. He was very clever and unconventional enough to come up with such a way to deal with me. He's sure he's tried everything. It's a bit strange, because normally, if you have a mentor by your side, you can't focus on these things. Not...... Well, I don't really understand it either. But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I know that as soon as he enters school, there will definitely be a bunch of people rushing to be his mentor, so I have to hold him first. Hahahaha, who doesn't want a great student? For a magician in a magic academy, a great student is the most important thing after a successful magic project. For this, they can even launch a duel. ”

"You've got it, haven't you?"

"No, it needs to be low-key. In the past, it was not unheard of forcibly changing the tutor in order to compete for students. There are even some students who have betrayed their mentors and volunteered to join other magicians. For example, a shameful person we don't want to mention. ”

Someone shameful who doesn't want to mention?

Who else could it be? Andrew, of course.

......

Andrew in the distance sneezed heavily.

......

Thinking of Andrew, Bernice's eyes widened. She seemed to have something in mind.

"What's wrong with you?" Amos took a sip of the cooled tea on the table, then looked at Bernice with a surprised expression.

"No, it's nothing!" Bernice said quickly, "I'll keep your eyes low, although I don't quite know what to do." ”

"Just mention it as little as possible, and pretend I'm embarrassed to accept him. Amos took another sip of tea: "Don't get too excited, get noticed. Although what he did today will definitely attract a lot of attention, we must try to provoke as little as possible. ”

"Okay, I know. ”

"Thank you. Bringing me such a wonderful student. ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do. Bernice bowed slightly and nodded, "If nothing else, I'll go first." ”

"Okay, you're busy. As he spoke, Amos waved his hand.

Bernice turned away.

As she walked out the door, she looked back hesitantly and said to herself, "That's Andrew's son? No, it can't be, Andrew doesn't have a son." Is it an illegitimate child? By the way, his surname is the same as Andrew's, 'Ann'. I'll have to look it up. ”

......

At this moment, on the other side, Jones's negotiations have begun.

In the first round of negotiations, he faced one of the "Queen's Consuls" - Cornelia.

Speaking of which, the blood elves really have a bit of a sense of yin and yang, it seems that the strong ones are all women, but the guards are basically men. This is not a common occurrence in the human world.

Sitting in front of Jones, Cornelia is a blood elf with short black hair, one-sided earrings, and casual armor with sharp eyes. It looks extremely smart.

Daliana, who had picked up Jones, was standing behind her.

The location is under the "water droplet".

Yes, below, there is a bazaar all around, and everyone in the bazaar can see them, they are not covered, and they are even a little noisy.

Jones was shocked.

Set up a table and a few chairs in the bazaar and start an important meeting...... This was something Jones would never have expected.

However, it is also relieved to think about it. Maybe a meeting that is important to them doesn't matter to them?

"Who's going to start first?" After about five minutes of silence, Cornelia smiled and said, "Someone has to speak first, right?"

"Ahem......" Jones coughed awkwardly and said, "Wouldn't it be nice to talk here? at least add some soundproofing magic or something, wouldn't it?"

"We're not saying anything unseemly, it's not necessary. Cornelia still smiled.

Helpless, Jones could only bite the bullet and say, "Okay, then I'll talk about it first." ”

"Hydra Knight, please. ”

"Hmm...... It's like this, I want ore. ”

"I know, Modo ore. ”

"Yes, although you are not banning exports, the production is too small, and we need more. ”

"How much?"

"It's best to have 10,000 a month. ”

"Absolutely, albeit a little harder. Cornelia took a deep breath, glanced to the side, and continued, "That kind of ore is based on the Divine Tree, so it is impossible for you to find it anywhere else. Because there is only one sacred tree in this world. ”

"Is that so? But aren't they ores?"

"Yes, but it's based on the Divine Tree. They can be found around the rhizomes of the sacred tree. ”

Hearing this, Jones hurriedly glanced down at the ground below.

"You have it under your feet, too. Cornelia smiled and said, "But not a lot, because the density is not very large." In fact, it's a by-product of when we do other work. As you may have felt, the price has increased fivefold since you started buying it, and it will continue to rise. I'm not telling you that we want to raise prices, I hope you don't get me wrong. I'm just telling you an objective fact. ”

"So......" Jones paused, motioning for Cornelia to continue.

Pursing her lips, Cornelia continued, "Before you bought it, although Modo ore also had some uses, most of them were used for magic research, and the amount used was very small. As I just said, it's a by-product that comes out of whether we want it or not. If there are more things, the price will naturally be cheap, which is normal. We even used to worry about what to do. You may not believe it, but there are several large buildings in another city-state of Logotsenni, and the foundations are made of these. ”

"To lay the foundation?" Jones was stunned.

"Yes, there is no way. Although the production of Modo ore is not large, the amount used is less, and there will still be a lot left over time. Eventually, we used it as a nice filler. It is mixed with cement and used to paint walls, or to lay foundations and pave roads. ”

Jones was excited and stood up suddenly: "That...... Can you pry them out and sell them to me? Maybe they can still be used. ”

"What are you going to buy it for?" said Cornelia, smiling and looking at Jones.

"With money, of course. Jones replied without thinking.

Cornelia casually pulled out a silver-white shell: "This is our currency, 'Silver Shell'." Do you have this?"

"Nope. Jones could only shake his head.

"Actually, we also accept gold coins, but we don't ask for much. Cornelia put the silver shell away and continued, "For us, the main use of gold coins is trade. Buy specialties from other places from humans or bloods. As long as it's enough, no more is needed. In fact, the amount of money you spent on Modo ore during this period of time is enough for us to maintain our trade for three to five years without exporting anything else. The foreign trade of the Blood Elves is not large. Otherwise, we may also need to build a warehouse specifically for the gold, which would be a burden. We've even started to think about not exporting to you anymore. ”

"So, if I find a payment method that you can accept, you can sell it to me, right?

"Not necessarily. Cornelia smiled and replied, "Negotiation is a process of exchanging interests. We know what these Modo ores are used for. You're going to use it to make magical equipment for humans to use, and we don't like humans. Armed humans are not in the interests of our blood elves. You need to prepare a complete plan, at least make us feel that we can give up some benefits before we can facilitate your ore purchase. After that, let's talk about the cost and payment method. ”
