In the tens of thousands of years of history of the ancient city of Coennas, the imperial capital of the Femont Empire, it has been captured six times, and each time, the occupiers will build the city wall higher, so the city wall of the ancient city looks from the bottom to the top, the color changes from dark to light, and it can be vaguely divided into seven layers, and the lightest color on the top is added after the occupation of Louis Fein the Great six hundred years ago.

The beautiful blue ribbon of the Boer River runs through the center of the ancient city, dividing the city into two distinct districts, east and west. In fact, it is true that there were two different cities on the banks of the Boer River in history, the east bank was called Cohen and the west bank was Nas, but now people no longer distinguish between them, but refer to them as the upper city and the lower city.

Located on the east bank, the Upper Town was a noble quarter, where the splendid Finn Palace was located.

Auston Fein was not a diligent king, and even the Duke of Adrien, the Prime Minister of the Empire, saw him only a limited number of times a month. But today, the Duke seemed to have been in the audience for a long time, and His Majesty even rarely retreated, which made the Janissary Knights guarding the door a little worried.

"What the hell is going on this time? I've been hiding several times, I can't put it off any longer, have you ever inquired about it?" Auston Finn was about forty years old, and his red hair was very well groomed.

"Your Majesty, I only know that a month ago, that woman and her military attache went to the south once, and when they came back, they said that they wanted to meet Your Majesty, and I really don't know what the hell she is going to do. ”

"It can't be a spar, is it? In a few months, the divine grace will come, and nothing can go wrong this time. ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, if you really can't do it, you will reduce the quota of each magic academy. ”

"If it continues to be reduced like this, the strength of the empire will only get worse and worse, and I am afraid that there is no need to wait for the divine punishment to come, and the vicious dog in the west will bite it. ”

"Your Majesty is far-sighted!"

"Hey...... Then arrange it for tomorrow, whether it's a blessing or a curse, you can't avoid it. You guys...... When will I be able to share my worries? ”

Triss School of Magic, Professor Victor's laboratory.

Downer returned to the academy from the Whispering Forest, the last day before the start of the winter semester. When he was in Dorne City, Mr. Merkel's father, Mr. Cliff Buck, came to a banquet for Donner and Richard, during which Donner finally learned that Natia Vida had given the Buck family the exclusive rights to the dwarven weapons of the entire three southern provinces. This is a great joy for the Buck family, and it is no wonder that Mr. Cliff also came to the banquet in person. Merkel quietly told Donner that his father had decided to maintain the previous ratio, and that Donner would still receive 30% of the profits from the franchise of dwarven weapons. In addition to this, Merkel also handed over the dwarve's payment for the simple forging machine, a hundred magic crystals.

Now the hundred magic crystals like blue diamonds are in Donner's personal pocket.

"Mr. Victor, is it possible that as long as you can afford the tuition, no matter who you are, you can study at the Academy of Magic?"

"Yes, didn't I tell you? Anyone can come for two thousand gold coins a year. ”

"The poor are okay too?"

"Are you crazy? Where do the poor get so much money?"

"Leave that alone, I mean, in principle, as long as you can afford the tuition, the poor can too?"

"Of course!" replied Victor casually.

"Is that enough?"

Victor was dumbfounded, Donner's outstretched palms glowed with a faint blue light, it was a large handful of magic crystals, I don't know how many there were.

"You have so much money there?" Professor Victor snatched the magic crystal from Donner's hand and carefully counted "one, two ......"

"I sold an invention. ”

"Forty-six! That's more than my quota for a year!"

“...... And a few more. Donner whispered.

Victor carefully put the magic crystal back into Donner's hand, and said with a sigh: "You kid, it's so annoying, what kind of mess have you invented, which one has paid so much money?"

Donner didn't answer his question, "Look, in that case, can I go to the Academy of Magic?"

"Come to my office tomorrow!"

When Donner heard this, he drank the fruit tea in his cup and went downstairs.

"It's late, but this kid can do it!" It wasn't until after Donner was gone that Victor's face showed a relieved smile.

Early the next morning, after asking Mr. Virgil for leave, Donner found Victor, who took him to the dean's office.

This was the first time Donner had seen the head of the Magic Academy, Mr. Dvisberg, who had gray hair, looked very old, and seemed to be in poor spirits, and Donner suspected that he was sleeping in his office before opening the door.

Since it was not a normal time for summer admission, and applying for admission was a special event, the dean routinely asked his assistant to convene a few members of the school council. Judging from the tone in which the dean and Victor spoke, the rumors that the two had a bad relationship may be true.

It didn't take long for the assistant to the dean to invite four committee members. When he saw Professor Judy walk into the dean's office, Donner had a bad feeling.

"Professor Victor asked, this ......" the dean looked down at the form he had just filled out on the table, "Donnaveen, do you have any questions about applying for winter admission?"

"I have a problem!" Sure enough, Professor Judy had a problem, "Lord Dean, this Donnaveen is a worker in the college library, and I heard that he is of bad character!"

"Misconduct?" said the dean, looking up at Judy.

"Yes, my lord, he had a book stealing scandal during his time in the library...... Although Victor later helped him clear his name, it is said that he also provoked the students to duel, which caused very bad consequences. ”

"Haven't all these misunderstandings been cleared up, Judy?" said Victor.

"I don't think there are any scandals in this world for no reason...... As far as I know, Donalveen is just a pauper, how is he going to pay for his tuition?"

Dean Devis looked down at the application form again, "Oh? it says it's paid with magic crystals. Speaking of magic crystals, the old man's eyes seemed to light up, the empire provides a fixed quota of magic crystals for the magic academy every year, and within the quota, it can be purchased at a public price of five hundred gold coins. If there is a demand that exceeds the quota, you need to secretly go to the black market to buy it, and the black market price of the magic crystal has long been as high as thousands of gold coins. Now there are students who want to pay for tuition with magic crystals, which is of course a good thing that cannot be sought.

"Demon crystals, Lord Dean, I would like to know where this poor man got these magic crystals?"

"He's sold one of his inventions!" Victor replied to help Donner.

"An invention? haha, Victor, mature a little! This poor man, what has he invented, and someone else needs to buy it with magic crystals? besides dwarves, have you heard of anyone else who pays magic crystals when trading?

Donner felt that it would be better not to talk about working with the dwarves, so when Victor looked at him, he could only answer with embarrassed eyes.

"Victor, I just checked the recent naturalist journal, and there is no such thing as your so-called paper! Wake up! Everything about this Donnaveen is a scam. Haven't you seen it yet? This pauper is a treacherous liar! I don't think it's time to discuss whether he can get into school or not, but to quickly count the academy's magic crystal reserves. ”

"This woman is really troublesome. Donner shook his head helplessly, it seems that the dwarf paid the magic crystal to show his sincerity, but why didn't anyone tell him that paying the magic crystal would cause a misunderstanding, he knew that the paper was withdrawn, but he didn't have time to explain it to Professor Victor?

Just as Donner was having a headache, the teleportation magic array, which had been silent for hundreds of years at the Tris School of Magic, sounded an early warning sound. The other end of this magic circle is in the imperial palace of the imperial capital of Cohennas, and it requires the cooperation of thirty-six court magicians to activate, and each use consumes a lot of magic crystals, and only the most important affairs such as wars, natural disasters or palace coups will be released through it.

Now, this legendary teleportation magic array has really been urged, and all the teachers and students of the school are gathering in front of the square where it is located, and everyone is speculating about what is happening.
