Chapter 147: Goodbye Old Man
With two hundred barrels of the fine wine of the Chteau Maurgenburg, he was in a very good mood when he traveled south, but he did not drink it freely, because since these wines were cellared, it meant that it was not yet a time to taste them, and he had always been a very patient person, especially for good wines.
Until this moment, he didn't realize how much trouble he would cause himself with the two hundred barrels of wine he had stolen. Before he started, he knew the background of this winery, but how could he have heard that the imperial envoy and the ministers of the realm would visit the Château Maugenburg on the same day, if it were not for the two hundred barrels of wine being mysteriously stolen under their noses, the seriousness of this case would not have risen to such a height. At least, I'm afraid that I won't invite the Grand Priest of Nahei to ask for an oracle, so that even if the prison guards will notice it, the prison and the legal department will probably not notice it.
However, if he asked Ao Zongheng whether it was worth offending these three organizations that could kill people for two hundred barrels of good wine, his answer would definitely be worth it.
Although the people of the three major organizations were all heading towards Aozong, they only knew where Aozong appeared last, and they only knew that his last move was to go south. But where is the destination of this southward journey? I don't know, this range is too wide, although it is arrogant and all the way to the south, they are all the way to the north, and the two sides have not met, not even the wrong side.
On the twenty-first day of the month of the Evil Plague, the wind is four days ago.
Zario Sakai, Fugan Jun, Geng Laoyuan, Gomo Lamin Imperial Spell Academy Joao Branch.
Tomorrow is the day of the 498th year of the Imperial Calendar of the Qiao Branch, and the Sleeve Mage Qualification Examination is held once a year, but except for the examination syllabus formulated by the Legal Management Department, and the approximate time of the examination is designated by the Academic Affairs Department, the rest will be organized and controlled by the management colleges of various countries, and the date of this year's examination is set for tomorrow.
In normal times, it's time to end classes, but classes are traditionally closed in the first ten days before exams, leaving time for law students to prepare for exams on their own.
The Sleeve Mage Qualification Exam, the first day of the written test, the second day of the elemental affinity test, this syllabus has not changed for at least a few hundred years.
The written test consists of three papers.
The first volume of common sense, of course, is all kinds of common knowledge related to spells, such as the dress code of mages, basic etiquette, and a little more in-depth such as the history of characters in the magic world, which is quite extensive.
The second language volume tests the mastery of several major languages, you must know that every spell book published by Emperor Xu in the empire must be printed in accordance with the four legal languages and characters of the empire, and if a sleeve mage can only speak his own native language, he will definitely fail, even if he can't speak, he must be able to understand it.
The third volume is relatively the most difficult, if the first two volumes can be passed by rote memorization, this third volume is counting, like the magic circle material, the ratio of spell preparations, these are all counting. Many law students who have not been able to become sleeve mages because of their qualifications, and when they are forced to find a living due to the pressure of survival, they often become pharmacists in the local area, and if they have money, they will open a small shop of spell supplies and utensils, focusing on applied things, and it is always easier to make a living.
Although the written test seems to be a lot of things to test, the reason why it is difficult to become a sleeve mage is not in the written test, but in the elemental affinity test on the second day.
There are about 200 candidates who take the Sleeve Mage Exam every year, and about 10% of them can pass the exam. Among the 190 people who failed the exam, about 20% of them failed both tests, less than 10% fell in the written test, and more than 70% fell in the elemental affinity test.
For most law students, the elemental affinity, except for the innate point, is mainly based on the accumulation of time and feelings, not on hard work or luck, and there is no way to take a trick.
Since the pre-exam revision, Ferrin has been staying in his single dormitory, and he is barely seen except when he eats in the college cafeteria.
As the exam date approached, so did his worries.
Of course, what he was worried about was not this exam, the written test had been his more confident part in the past, as for the elemental affinity, not to mention now, two months ago, his elemental affinity had reached the level of the sleeve mage - this was the evaluation of the head of the Qiao Branch, Jia Pan Zanyiyan, since he promised to take care of Fei Lin obliquely, he would ask Fei Lin every half a month to learn about his cultivation progress, he was deeply shocked by the growth rate of this little guy who was not yet thirteen years old, if it weren't for the fear of his "uncle" , Jia Pan Zanyi Yan really wanted to ask about his cultivation method.
Since it is not the exam that is worried, then it is natural that the person is worried.
Uncle Ao promised to come back to see his Sleeve Mage qualification exam, but tomorrow was already the exam, and Uncle Ao didn't show up to today, and Fei Lin couldn't help but be a little worried - Uncle Ao could really come back in time.
He didn't know what Ao Zongheng was leaving for, and even if he did, he wouldn't worry about Ao Zong's safety, in Fei Lin, who was only twelve years old, Uncle Ao was mysterious, magical, and incredible, and there was no one more powerful than him except for the gods.
Since Ao Zongheng left, he has been staying in the academy according to Uncle Ao's instructions, Pi Genbo also disposed of the original house, and found a relatively small house to live in Geng Laoyuan, because Fei Lin did not leave the school, the two could not meet, and could only rely on letters to contact, but Pi Genbo saw that the little master's achievements were promising, and he was happy and did not want to disturb him, which was probably a letter a month.
"Felin, have your letter. The school worker in charge of the dormitory guard shouted at the dormitory gate.
Although Fei Lin is not the only and not the first law student to live in a single dormitory, except for those who have graduated and left the school, before that, the only law student who can live in a single dormitory is the daughter of the Zaglio Sakai, Funa Gafen Domo. Therefore, these school workers and deacons are not polite to Feilin, but they are not dismissive.
Ferrin answered and went out of the room to fetch the letter, which must have been sent by Piganbo, for he was the only one who would deliver it.
And that's exactly what happened.
Piganpo's Duoduo Manhua is quite beautifully written, and in the continent of Tambro, where most of the slaves can't even write much vocabulary in their native language, Piganbo who knows two languages and can write letters is simply rare, which is one of the reasons why Levima is relieved to entrust his only son to him.
The letter was not long, only one sentence, but looking at Fei Lin, who was looking at the letter, his brows were first relaxed, and then he wrinkled.
"The Aopharsis has arrived, and he has something important to say to you tonight, so please come to the house as soon as possible. ”
Uncle Ao finally arrived, and the boulder that had been hanging in Fei Lin's heart finally fell to the ground, but he knew that the exam was going to be tomorrow, what was the matter so urgent? And as Uncle Ao, he should be able to enter the academy, why did he have to go out by himself? Could it be that Uncle Ao had encountered something wrong and couldn't come to the academy?
Thinking of this, Fei Lin's brows naturally furrowed, of course he was embarrassed not by whether he wanted to go out or not, since Uncle Ao wanted to go out by himself, then he definitely had to go out, and what he was embarrassed about was - how could he get out?
In addition to the long holidays in the academy, it is usually a day off every ten days, that is, the eleventh, twenty-second, and thirty-third days of each month are closed days, according to the explanation, tomorrow is a rest day, but this is not an exam - the academy stipulates that all students have to stay in the academy tonight except for those who do not participate in the sleeve spell qualification exam. According to the rules of the college, students are not allowed to leave the college during the leave of absence unless approved by one of the deans, so should I go to ask Dean Jia Panzan for leave?
The house rented by Pigenbo is on the northern edge of Genglaoyuan, which belongs to the "new district" of Genglaoyuan, and the houses are relatively new, the housing density is relatively low, and the nearest house is also 30 kilometers away. There are also some trees left over from the time cut down at the time, and if they didn't know in advance that there was a house here, others might not have seen it even if they walked nearby.
It took a while for Ferrin to find this place, but he only learned from the letter that Piganbo had made his home here, but it was the first time he had visited.
He sneaked out, he thought about it, the possibility of asking the dean for leave or approval is not high, and once he is not approved, even if he wants to steal it, it will be difficult to succeed, so he simply escaped over the wall, the more closely guarded in the college is mainly the student dormitory and a few important places, and there will only be occasional patrols here in the single dormitory of the academy, and no one will watch.
This is a single-storey small house, there is a small courtyard surrounded by a half-person high wall outside the house, ordinary people do not need to consider the problem of anti-theft, naturally do not need to be high.
Of course there was light in the house.
"Uncle Ao, I'm back. Ferrin looked relaxed and pushed open the hidden door.
"It's good to be back, I've been waiting for you for a long time. A man replied with a smile.
This voice is familiar, but it is by no means arrogant.
Without guessing, as the door opened completely, Ferrin saw the owner of the voice, who was sitting upright on a wooden chair in the center of the main hall, smiling at Ferrin.
The person in front of him turned out to be Li Mu, the spell advisor of Jia Fan Duomo Sakai.
"What are you doing in my house, where is my servant?" Fei Lin was still able to hold his breath and not be overly alarmed.
But after all, he is only a teenager under the age of thirteen, and even if his mind is flexible and adaptable, it is impossible for his face not to show traces.
Li Mu naturally noticed this instantaneous change, and the smile on his face was even stronger. "Don't worry, we'll leave your house at once, come with me, and you'll soon see your servant. ”
