Chapter 39: The Tree of the Underworld on the School Emblem
The great magician saw the posture of the group of people outside from a distance, so he wisely flashed to the side, leaving the poor rookie brave man surrounded by the group, Rob was idle and had nothing to do, and seeing that Luo Luo could not get out of trouble for a while, he continued to walk along the street alone.

With Luo Luo's heroic dedication, the great magic has hardly been hindered along the way, in fact, except for the few really poor colleges at the door, most universities are still relatively reserved, and this kind of thing is not to grab half-price vegetables in the supermarket, sometimes it will seem a little cheap if it is too enthusiastic.
Especially for those old and famous schools with background, the recruitment of new students every year is basically the same set of things, and they will not deliberately do too much publicity, anyway, as long as their signboard is hard enough, even if they sit at home, someone will come to the door, and the most excessive in this regard is naturally the Saint Laurent School of Magic.
Every year, when it comes to recruiting new people, the first magic academy of the human race is eager to write the perfunctory four words on their faces, and they don't even hang a banner at the entrance of the school, so they just set up a table to deal with errands, and there is an old man who loves to ignore them over there who is responsible for collecting money and registration forms, but even so, at this time of year, the front of the Saint Laurent Academy of Magic is still crowded with people, and the long queue can extend all the way to the Red River Square.
Almost every boy or girl in the free city-state who wants to become a magician has their biggest dream to enter this magic academy that has given birth to countless legends, and the first thing these children do when they come to the university town of Gudris every winter is to sign up for the Saint Laurent School of Magic, and the other magic schools in the city have a default recruitment date a week later than the Saint Laurent School of Magic.
There's no way, everyone didn't deliberately let the Saint Laurent School of Magic, the main thing is that even if you are willing to open the door, you won't be able to recruit anyone, everyone is going to the Saint Laurent School of Magic.
Fortunately, the recruitment over there does not last too long, only seven days in total, unless your talent is extremely good, otherwise these seven days can only wait for the next year, and the vast majority of children are not qualified to enter the Saint Laurent School of Magic in the end.
It will take them a few days to figure out the gap between their ideals and reality, and then they will pick up their frustration and start looking for a school that suits them.
This period of time is actually the busiest period of time in the university town of Gudris.
Because there are more than ten universities in the western suburbs, it has attracted a lot of attention, and the surrounding hotels have been full recently, and Rob is not very conspicuous when he walks around the neighborhood alone, and he soon finds the location of the Auston School of Magic.
There is now an academy of adventurers called the Silver Sword.
Rob frowned, it can be seen from the previous documents that although the Saint Laurent Brothers Magic Academy has been changing its name over the years, it is basically still a school that mainly cultivates magicians, why hasn't it suddenly changed its main business for more than a hundred years and changed to cultivate adventurers?
This is undoubtedly somewhat strange.
The Grand Magician pretended to be interested in studying here and successfully obtained the qualification to enter the museum, and walked around the campus, and what he saw in front of him was basically what a normal adventurer academy should look like, until he saw a potholed iron wall Rob in the training ground in the northeast corner that he was slightly stunned.
This is a standard facility in the Academy of Magic, and is generally used to test the power of low-level spells.
The teacher in charge of admissions at the Silver Sword has been accompanying him as a guide, and then the young man who followed the gaze looked at him and smiled, "Oh, that thing, I don't know how long I have been staying here, I thought it could be used as an obstacle to practice climbing ability, but in fact it is not very useful, and it is estimated that it will be dismantled after this month." ”
The great magician sighed, but didn't say anything, and then the two of them turned around for half a circle and didn't find anything special, and finally Rob shook hands with the teacher in charge of admissions and said goodbye, and the other party added before parting, " I think you should also have a certain foundation in swordsmanship, if you want to become an excellent swordsman, you can't have a good teacher, the silver sword is different from those new schools that have just been established outside, we are an old academy with a history of nearly two hundred years, and there is still a guarantee in terms of teachers and teaching quality, and the tuition fee is not expensive, you can consider it again after you go back. ”
"Wait, teacher, how many years of school history did you just say?" something seemed to flash through the boy's mind.
"To be precise, it should be one hundred and ninety-two years old, and we can't lie to anyone in this regard, you can ask the old people in the neighborhood if they have heard the name of our Silver Sword. The teacher in charge of admissions also seemed very proud when he mentioned the history of the school, and wanted to say a few more words. Unexpectedly, it was Rob who opened his mouth first.
"Hmm, has your school changed its location once in the past 190 years?"
"Hey, how do you know? Could it be that you've done your homework before and know something about the history of our Silver Sword?"
"Well, we can talk about this until we meet next time, and now I just want to ask, do you remember where your school was before?"
"I don't remember. The teacher in charge of admissions shook his head and said, "That was more than a hundred years ago, how do I know?" However, just as the Grand Magician was about to be disappointed, he added, "But there must be one in our school's files, and if you really want to know, I can check it for you." ”
"Then I'm sorry for you. ”
"Hey, it's not a big deal, it's just a gesture, and I don't know why you care so much about this kind of thing, but it's good to go there and take a look at it as part of learning about the history of the school. The teacher in charge of admissions said.
And when Rob got his wish and got that new address, the expression on his face was really wonderful.
He never thought that the original school site of the Silver Sword would be across the street, only a dozen meters away from here.
Today, it is a comprehensive institution called Siamers.
Rob crossed the street to the gate of the school, and only glanced up at the school emblem on the gate to almost conclude that the school was the changed name of the Auston School of Magic.
The Grand Magician has seen the crest of the Auston School of Magic in the Ukiyo-e of the Southern Cities, which depicts a small tree growing under a hillside. You show it to a hundred people, and ninety-nine of them will tell you that the tree is an oak.
It's no surprise that oak has always been popular among mages as an excellent magical material with excellent elemental affinity, not only Auston, but also many magic academies have oak as their school crest.
Rob knew, however, that the small tree on the crest of the Auston School of Magic was not an oak, but Hertomoth, the legendary Tree of the Underworld, which grew at the entrance to the Underworld and resembled an oak tree in appearance, making it almost impossible for ordinary people to tell the difference between the two. Like Olgaard, the World Tree, Hertomos has an infinite life, but never bears fruit.
Because it is too close to the underworld, it is unconsciously eroded by the underworld, and gradually loses the ability to reproduce, and can no longer accept the sunlight, so it can only stay in the darkness and shadows forever, and the gatekeeper of the underworld uses the boat it makes to attract the souls who come and go, because only Hertomos will not sink on the River Styx.
And now, Rob has found the Tree of the Underworld on Siamers' school crest.
