Chapter 420: No negotiation
Shut up and found that his whispers were completely heard, and although he didn't say anything too important, he still felt uncomfortable, but fortunately he was just a parrot, so he simply buried his head under his wings and pretended to be asleep on Luka's shoulder.
"Well, I don't have anything to hide anyway, what the hell are you looking for me for?" Lukka asked.
"There are two main things," the boy relaxed, sitting on the couch opposite Luca, "First, I want to ask you for something." β
"Am I mistaken? You do business, shouldn't you say it's buying?" Luca's sense of money was very keen.
"No, no, no, this thing I want, there is no way to measure it in money. Yat said.
"Tell me, what?" Lukka thought, saying that he should not say that he would buy it, but it was just a ploy used by the other party to lower the price.
"It's so simple, you don't even have to go back and pick it up, it's right with you. Yat said.
"Don't you have to go back and get it, do you want my staff?" the other party was a mage, and although he was only an apprentice, Lukka thought it was a more reliable guess.
"The Amethyst Staff is indeed rare, but it has been integrated with your spiritual space, and no one can forcibly take it away. That's not what I want. Arte shook her head.
"Don't you spit, hurry up and say, what do you want?!" Shut up and listened anxiously, stuck his head out from under his wings, and asked in a loud voice, "You can't want this dirty coat from him, can you?"
"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point," Art took a deep breath, "what I want is this automatic book retrieval device." β
"Book Auto...... Wait, aren't you talking about me?" Shut up and burst into flames as he leapt from Luka's shoulder.
"This is not negotiable!" Luca, shrouded in anger, his voice was no quieter than shutting up.
"Don't worry, I also have a hard time. Art said with a sad face, "Can you listen to me first?"
Lukka said coldly: "I don't think you need to say it, it's in vain anyway." β
"Let him say, I'd like to hear what he wants me to do?"
Art sighed, then pointed to the robe on her body and said, "You can also see that I am not enrolled in the Mage Academy yet, and I am not even a trainee mage. β
"What does this have to do with me?" asked Shut Up.
Art replied, "That's right, if you want to enter the Mage Academy, if you don't register on the roster of the academy before the age of seven, you must go through a special assessment presided over by the three vice deans before you can successfully enter the school. β
"I know that this entrance exam is indeed very difficult, and it is said that the magic test questions in it are even more difficult than the first-year probationary mage exam. Shut up and jump on the coffee table to start the offensive against the salt-baked peanuts again.
"The entrance exam is more difficult than the final exam? Lukka said confusedly.
Shut up and explained: "The assessment of magical ability is not the most difficult, the most difficult part is actually the tempering of the mind. This exam is aimed at unregistered mages, most of these unregistered children are the descendants of exiled mages, and if they want to leave the exile and enter the palace of open-minded mages, they must naturally be strictly controlled. β
"Exile mage, what does that mean?" Lukka asked.
"Some mages are not satisfied with the six factions of magic, and they have studied forbidden arts outside of them, such as necromancy, or blood magic," he said, and winked at Luka, "Such mages will be wanted by the mage academy or wanted depending on the severity of their actions, and their descendants will not be eligible to enter the magic academy unless they ......"
"Unless you pass this exam. "Help me, or I'll be an exiled mage." That's a bunch of outlaws, and I don't want to mess with them!"
"So, you want Shut Up to help you cheat and pass this test?" Luca asked.
"How can I do such a thing? I need it to help me review. "You see, if I can't get into the Academy, I won't be able to use the books in the Academy's library to prepare for the exam, but if I want to pass the exam, I'll have to be at least a first-class apprentice." β
"Sounds a bit of a twist," Lukka said after a moment's thought, "but you're right, there's a serious loophole. β
"What loophole?" asked Att, frowning.
"What about the archmage who lent you this mage tower, you are his apprentice, why didn't he help you?" asked Luca.
"I'm not considered an apprentice to the master of the Mage Tower, it's just that my elders have a bit of a friendship with him, so I can borrow it. Yat shook his head, "Moreover, the owner of the Mage Tower is a teacher from the Academy of Magic, and according to the rules, he cannot teach any spells to exiled mages who have not registered. β
"What about your parents? at least one of them is an exiled mage, right?" Shut up asked.
"My parents weren't exiled mages, they ...... Just forgot to register me at the Academy of Magic. β
"That's okay, that's irresponsible, isn't it?" Lukka was a little surprised, "Can't you make up if you forget?"
"No, if you don't register before the age of seven, you'll have to take the test. Yat said.
"Even so, didn't they teach you spells?" asked shut.
"Teach," Arte stretched out his hand, and without chanting the spell out loud, a transparent ice crystal flower bloomed at his fingertips, "but the teaching is not very systematic, and if you deal with the exam, there must be a lot of omissions." β
"Okay, I guess I understand. Lukka nodded.
"And you agreed?" AttΓ© looked at him expectantly.
"Who said that if you don't take the exam, what does it have to do with me? And you still want it directly, I don't want to pay, and I don't plan to pay it back when I run out, so I will only agree to it if I have water in my head?" Luca said.
"It's not that I don't want to pay it back, I don't want to lie to you. "If I could return it to you, I would definitely say that I borrowed it, but the retrieval device is essentially an item belonging to the wizarding world, and I only traveled here with you last time." Once it returns to its original world, it is unlikely that it will be sent out again, unless it can find another person with a special constitution who can travel between several worlds without damage. β
"Even if you can pay it back, I won't borrow it!" Luca said and stood up, grabbed the peanut and put it on his shoulder, "Your parents forgot to register you, what does it have to do with me, and you don't care if I call me Dad." β
