Section 139: The Skull and Bones Society
"You're really fast,"
Curtis sat across from Norman, munching on the carrot and green bean salad he had just swallowed in his mouth, "I thought you wouldn't be back until the afternoon." ”
His voice was a little slurred because he had something in his mouth.
This is Mannheim's second canteen, and according to Curtis, the food here is the best in the whole of Mannheim, especially the hash browns in it, so after meeting him on the road, he came here with Curtis.
"Enoch was very angry, after you left, he cursed that a person like you would never become a black-robed mage in his life, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw you standing in front of him in a mage robe. Although it was said that you did it wrong, I still can't help but want to laugh when I think of his expression at that time......"
Norman silently listened to Curtis's words and ate what was in front of him.
He ordered a mixed vegetable salad and half a roast chicken, and a large loaf of bread.
If it had been in the past, Norman would have eaten a lot of food by now, but in the days he had eaten in the Cathedral of Yabei, he had eaten an unusually rich variety of dishes, and his appetite had been raised, so that now he would no longer be so devoured in the face of these foods, and finally he had the demeanor of an aristocrat at the beginning.
The chicken didn't have any feathers, but Norman didn't care, cut a piece and put it in his mouth to taste it, and felt that the taste was indeed okay, and after chewing it, he asked Curtis, "Can I be the mentor's assistant now?"
Curtis shook his head, "Not necessarily, this kind of thing is the tutor picking the student, not the student picking the mentor, even if you want to be their assistant, it depends on whether they need an assistant now." And there are many mentors in Mannheim, and each person's field of expertise is different, so it is best to understand the areas of expertise of each tutor before you find a mentor, and then choose the direction you want to study. ”
After listening silently, Norman asked, "Do you know any mentors who are good at the study of spells and spells?"
In his opinion, Curtis is a Mannheim Tong, and Curtis knows everything about Mannheim, but when he asks this question, Curtis doesn't know either.
"Sorry, there are too many mentors in Mannheim, and I don't know the personal circumstances of each of them. ”
However, Curtis also showed him a way, "But the people of the Skull and Bones Society may know, after all, this is the most elite and mysterious society in the school, and they should have much more information than ordinary students like us." And they just happen to be interesting to you, and now you have the qualification of a one-star black-robed mage...... Although there are many one-star black-robed mages in Mannheim, a freshman who has obtained the qualification of a one-star black-robed mage as soon as he enters the school is definitely different from an ordinary one-star black-robed mage, and I believe they will come to you soon. ”
As it turned out, Curtis was right, and a stranger came to their dorm door that night.
It was a slightly obese boy, looking at about twenty, with a face always smiling, very intimate.
"Hello Alan Harris. ”
He said this to Norman, who came to open the door.
It seems that they have already investigated Norman, and recognize him as soon as they see Norman's face.
Norman nodded, "Hello." ”
The chubby boy didn't talk much nonsense, and handed him an envelope: "This is a letter for you." With that, he turned and left, much to Norman's astonishment.
Looking at the kind smile on the face of this chubby boy, he thought that he would pull himself to talk for a while, but he didn't expect to turn around and leave, which was really unexpected by him.
And when Norman closed the door and took the letterhead into the room to take a closer look, he saw that the fire paint in the sealed place was a skeleton pattern.
Looks like this is what the Skull and Bones will be.
Curtis guessed that someone from the Skull and Bones Society might come to the door today, so he didn't go to the next place, and waited in the dormitory, just waiting to meet this legendary mysterious elite society. Now when I saw the skull fire paint on the envelope, I was also very interested, and said excitedly: "Hurry up and take a look!" and handed over a paper cutter.
Norman took a knife and opened the letter, pulling out a beautiful invitation from it.
"Alan Harris, we heard about you......"
Worthy of being the most mysterious elite society in Mannheim, the contents of this invitation are all written in ancient languages.
The above sentence structure is not complicated, but it is not something that ordinary students can understand smoothly, such as Curtis, after reading it, his eyes are blackened, and most of the content does not know what he is talking about, and there are even many ancient words that he does not know.
"What does that say?"
Curtis didn't know him, but Norman had no obstacles, and he understood everything at a glance.
"They said they wanted to invite me to be one of them, and they wrote the time and place on it. ”
Norman casually summarized the above content to Curtis, and then placed the invitation on the table.
After he heard Curtis say that the skeleton would be interested in him for the first time, he didn't care, and he made up his mind to ignore it even if the other party came to him, but if he wanted to find a suitable mentor now, it seemed that he could only go to the skeleton club to see the situation first......
The invitation was made on the afternoon of the third day, somewhere on the east side of the Mannheim College campus, and when Norman followed the instructions on the invitation letter, he found a small conjoined building standing in front of him.
There are few people near the small building, and the wall is still full of creepers, which is very quiet when you look at it.
After entering, Norman was greeted by a man named Colwin, who invited him to a small room on the side like an old friend, and sat on the sofa and chatted face to face, the whole process was quiet and comfortable, no one disturbed, and there was no such thing as Curtis's fantasy of deliberately trying to find fault and provoke him.
Norman didn't beat around the bush, and after gossiping, he bluntly stated his purpose.
Corwin was not upset by his purpose, but told him, "You can get the information you want, but you need to understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and if you want to get this, you have to give something......"
As Colwin narrates, Norman finally learns what the nature of Mannheim's most mysterious elite society is.
It's basically a trading group, where each person exchanges the resources he has for something he wants, and if someone else has it and is willing to exchange, then the two can trade with each other.
Very pure, but Norman liked it.
Of course, there are some rules of the Skull and Bones Club, such as the fact that you must become a member of the Skull and Bones Club before you can trade, that members need to help as much as possible when other members need help without harming their own interests, and that members of the Skull and Bones Club must abide by some of the basic rules of the Skull and Bones Club, etc.
In Norman's opinion, these rules were very limited, and there were not many restrictions on his person, on the contrary, he would benefit more from joining the Skull and Bones Society, and Lancelot thought so, so he finally accepted Colwin's suggestion and decided to join the Skull and Bones Society.
Colwin was just a guide, and after he and Norman had reached an agreement, it took another three days for the actual initiation ceremony to take place.
As the most elite society in Mannheim, the Skull and Bones Guild is sparsely populated and difficult to schedule, so everyone is required to be present at every initiation ceremony for new members.
Norman completed the initiation ceremony in the presence of these people and officially became a member of the Skull and Bones Society, and then, instead of trading a copy of the Mannheim Academy's mentor as he had done before, he had another idea.
Since the Skull and Bones Guild is a place to trade, can you trade spells here?
After all, even if you follow the mentor, you don't know how long the mentor will teach a spell, but if you can trade the spell, you will be able to get a new spell immediately, and the efficiency between the two is very different. 8)
