Chapter 18: Wellington
In the case of the Australian worm snake family, the essence blood of the ancestor and the adult Bastan snake, these special items can greatly increase the development speed of their bloodline, but the bloodline concentration will also decrease to varying degrees.
The potential of the Bloodline is determined at the moment of birth, and they do not encounter a bottleneck in their ranks, all they lack is time.
Even if Kevin eats and waits for death, as long as he lives to be over eighty years old, his body will enter the maturity period, which is why the bloodline person is called a patron.
This advantage, which is the envy of wizards, also brings with it a shackle that can never be shaken off.
No bloodline person can have enough power to surpass the ancestors, and not only that, but under the influence of the bloodline, their bodies and living habits will change.
But Kevin is not worried, he can cultivate both paths, and the shackles of bloodline have no effect on the wizarding system.
For example, a bloodline with the limit of potential to be a great knight can also become a first-class wizard apprentice.
He stuffed a bloodline source stone into his mouth, and the source stone quickly melted after encountering saliva and flowed into his throat, tasting sweet, as if he was eating candy.
After waiting for a while, Kevin didn't feel any changes in his body, probably because the twelve-year-old was only the juvenile stage of the Fire Lin Behemoth, and a source stone might as well cause a qualitative change.
The book that Angus brought with him consisted of drawings and notes.
It records the Norton family's exploration of the use of the Firelin Behemoth's bloodline, as well as the characteristics of each stage of growth, which is not available to Kevin for the time being.
"Young master, the clothes and family certificates have been sorted out. Randall shouted outside the room.
Kevin is very resolute, and since he has no choice, he is going to go to the University of Wellington today to go through the admission process.
Luckily, Brandon was also at the University of Wellington, which saved him the trouble of running on both sides.
He put the remaining low-level bloodline source stones and books close to him, and walked out of the door, where a carriage had already stopped in the courtyard.
Taking Randall and Esther with them, the three of them got into the carriage and left the mansion.
Nigal City is wide enough to accommodate six horse-drawn carriages alongside, with a winding lane leading into the countryside and forests.
In the carriage, Randall began to tell the two of them the details of the University of Wellington: "The University of Wellington is an aristocratic college established by the royal family of Turin, and thirty percent of them are children of the nobility of your age, and the other seventy percent are commoners who have paid high tuition fees. ”
"Yes, I see. Kevin nodded, it was about the same as he had envisioned.
With the passage of time, every institution of higher learning is inevitably affected by nepotism, and the source of students recruited will become more and more complicated.
"Because of the royal background, the university is very strictly managed, and students are not allowed to stay overnight and skip classes without reason. ”
Randall is very knowledgeable and knows the secret: "Of course, the rules are set like this, but in the process of implementation, there are preferential treatment for noble students, especially the children of those with titles above the marquis, and the rules are useless for them." ”
Esther couldn't help but interject on the side: "Randall, do you know how much civilians have to pay? Simon's father only gave me ten gold coins, I'm afraid..."
She hadn't finished her sentence, and her intentions were already obvious.
In the Kingdom of Turin, only the first three heirs of the family can enjoy the privileges of nobility, and Esther is obviously not among them.
Kevin looked at her playfully: "I can pay for your tuition, but what can you repay me with besides money?"
Esther's pretty face turned red instantly, and her hands were wrenched together uneasily, as if she wanted to say something.
"If you are interested in business, let me see your talent for business, otherwise you will be of no value to me. Kevin turned his head out the window and said coldly.
He was very disappointed in Esther, she must have inquired about the tuition before, and also put on the intention of exchanging her body, because she expected that Kevin was not interested in her,
Esther's scheming is not on the right path, and it is not worth Kevin's increased chips to cultivate.
The carriage slowly stopped, and the coachman's voice rang out: "Sir, the University of Wellington has arrived." ”
The three of them stepped out of the carriage and saw a slightly classical palace complex, surrounded by verdant vines and white roses clinging to the stone walls, which seemed to have a long history.
The palace group is symmetrical on the central axis, the layout is rigorous, and the middle is mostly a dome, giving people a sense of grandeur.
In the central lawn is a statue of a four-winged bird called the Turin Bird, symbolizing the authority of the Turin royal family and the image engraved on the obverse of the coin.
There were many wagons with family crests engraved on the door, and some teenagers were coming in and out.
Most of the people are well-dressed, and some people are gorgeously dressed, but the matching is very twisted, it is estimated that they are civilians who deliberately imitate the clothes of the aristocracy, and the aristocratic school is the most likely to breed vanity.
Kevin asked the two of them to go through the enrollment formalities and walked to the guardhouse at the door.
The yellow-faced man in the guard room saw him coming over, and said with a bored face: "There is a notice posted at the door, if you want to go in to find someone, go to the side to register first." ”
Kevin was stunned, before he could open his mouth, he could know that I was looking for someone?
He looked down at what he was wearing, and it dawned on him. He was still wearing a long shirt during his workout, and he didn't wear a badge on his chest to identify himself, so it's no wonder he was misunderstood.
As if he hadn't heard, Kevin continued to ask, "Do you know who Brandon is?"
"Brandon, which Brandon?" the yellow-faced man wanted to get rid of this annoying guy directly, but he seemed to think of something and swallowed the words that came to his lips.
"Is there a man named Brandon among the tutors?"
The yellow-faced man looked much more respectful: "Yes, Brandon is the president of the University of Wellington. He's still on vacation and will be back in about two days. ”
Although the man does not know the relationship between Kevin and Brandon, the slightest carelessness may cause him to lose his job. In Wellington, the level of observation is more important than the ability.
Kevin felt a little regretful in his heart, and was about to leave when he heard a gust of wind coming from behind.
"Get out of here!"
A tall, wrinkled man in his thirties rushed to the door.
Kevin's brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't mean to retreat, and looked at the visitor with a blank face.
The man saw that Kevin was still blocking the doorway, his eyes were full of irritation, his right arm shook, and he punched Kevin's heart.
If you don't agree with each other, do you plan to settle it by force? It seems that you are used to being arrogant and domineering in ordinary times.
Kevin's center of gravity quickly shifted to the right, grabbing the man's arm, and his muscles suddenly exerted.
"Click"
The man's arm joints were instantly misaligned, making a crisp sound.
