Chapter 020: Hope for Healing

Caesar took out his space ring in distress, and the 50,000 gold coins he got from selling his sword and the 50,000 gold coins he earned from his life in the army disappeared in an instant. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He paid all the tuition fees and filled out the form and left on his own, leaving only the two people in the room, one looking at the scenery outside the window calmly, and the other happily holding the form he had just received in his arms.

"This was originally the office of the dean, but now I don't know who it has changed hands to?"

Reiner looked around, and the room was simply furnished.

"Grandpa traveled all over the world, and now I don't know where he has gone. Originally, this office was occupied by Director Robert, but now that I am going to be a mentor, it will naturally belong to me. ”

"Speaking of which, junior brother, you have already met the graduation requirements, I remember that you entered the realm of the Great Magician before me, why do you not want to graduate until now?"

Reiner looked at the clouds in the sky and seemed to say to himself:

"It's not that I don't want to go home. And I'm still waiting, waiting for someone in the academy to show up who can fight with me, I want to draw a perfect end to my years of college life, and that person hasn't shown up yet, and that battle hasn't come yet. ”

"I don't understand what you boys think. ”

Winnie finally picked up the form she had been holding to her chest and looked at it carefully.

Caesar...... Abraham? It's not ......."

"It's one of those two eighth-rank elemental affinities, but his magic circuit is damaged......"

The cold winter of Virgina is gradually disappearing, but the streets of the capital are more and more visible, and the bustle and prosperity dot the ancient city, and the grandeur of the city has covered it with a layer of noble luxury.

Caesar looked at the luxurious mansion in front of him with some dumbfounded.

It's been a few days since the Royal Academy of Magic exams, and it's still some time before the academy opens. He used the past few days to study the Nine Heavens Thunder Fighting Technique, and after making sure that there was nothing special about it, he followed the address given to him by Aode and found it here.

I saw the quaint gate standing here, full of historical atmosphere but not losing the momentum at all, two stone statues of strange beasts, one left and one right, were glaring at Caesar standing in front of the door. Beneath the Biwa Flying, the solemn red gate awaits those who knock on it.

It took a long time for Caesar to recover.

"It seems that Odd is a local tyrant. ”

He sighed silently, walked up the steps, and knocked on its door to this building that combines East and West.

"Knock, knock. ”

The sound is rich and the echo is long.

But after knocking on the door, Caesar didn't have to wait long.

With a "squeak", the door slowly moved open, and an old man dressed as a waiter appeared behind the door. Although the old man's hair was gray, his posture was still upright.

He first bowed to Caesar, who hurriedly bowed in return.

"May I ask if it's Young Master Caesar? My young master said, if you come, just go in directly, and you don't need to report it. ”

Caesar nodded blankly and walked into the quaint mansion.

The house is filled with birds and flowers, fish swim in the pond, and in the midst of this picturesque landscape, a pavilion is hidden in the middle.

Under the guidance of the old man, Caesar looked around like a hillbilly entering the city for the first time. Looking at the small pavilion in front of him, Odd, dressed in luxurious civilian clothes, was sitting on a stone bench, and on the stone table in front of him, a strange chessboard was spread out, on which were placed all kinds of white chess pieces, which looked like they were polished from the teeth of some kind of animal.

Caesar still came to Odd in a daze, and Odd raised his head to look at Caesar who was staring at him with wide eyes, and smiled at the corner of his mouth:

"Brother Caesar, are you here?"

Randomly, he raised his hand and pointed to the stone bench opposite:

"Sit down. ”

Caesar sat nervously on the stone bench, and adjusted it for a long time before he felt more comfortable.

"Don't call me Brother Caesar, just call me Caesar, you're my first friend in Virgina, and there's no need to be polite between us. ”

Caesar, who was getting used to it, said proudly as he fiddled with the pieces on the board.

Odd was stunned for a moment, then nodded:

"Okay, I'll just call you Caesar, and you can just call me Ode. Actually, I don't have many friends in Virgina, but you're one. ”

When he said the second half of the sentence, there was a trace of sadness in Odd's eyes, but it was only a fleeting moment, and it did not allow Caesar to notice.

"No, I see that your family is so luxurious, you must be a rich person, how can you have no friends?"

Odd shook his head and said with a smile:

"The richer you are, the more status you have, the harder it is to make real friends. ”

Caesar nodded thoughtfully, then took out the fighting skill scroll from the spatial ring, and casually returned to the stone table.

"Well, I've finished watching the fighting skills, and now it's yours. ”

Odd picked up the fighting skills on the stone table, looked at them, and then handed them to the old man on the side:

"Arian, put away your fighting skills. ”

The old butler Arian took over the fighting skills and turned to leave.

Odd turned his eyes to Caesar, who was fiddling with the chess pieces:

"Do you know how to play chess?"

Caesar shook his head:

"Haven't played it. ”

"It's simple, I'll teach you. ”

Odd explained to Caesar the most basic rules of war.

This chess game is a very popular chess game among the nobles of the Westin continent, it simulates everything that can happen on the battlefield, and it is often used by armies to arrange troops. It can be said that the level of a person's chess skills can often tell whether his military talent is outstanding or not.

"You understand the rules now, let's have a game?"

Caesar nodded and tossed the chess pieces in his hand.

The two of you go back and forth, crisscrossing the chessboard.

"Caesar, you have a good talent for magic. ”

"Okay, you know everything?"

"Well, the Royal High School of Magic has produced two geniuses with an eighth rank of elemental affinity this year, and this matter is already known to everyone in the whole of Virgina. ”

"I'm not a genius. In order to enter the academy, it cost me 100,000 gold coins. ”

Odd smiled and didn't speak.

The layout on Caesar's chessboard has improved by leaps and bounds in a few rounds, and each move has a little flavor in it.

"It's hard to heal from damage to the magic circuit, but ......"

In a few steps, Aude was a little serious, and Caesar was immediately at a disadvantage.

"But what? Is there still salvation?"

Caesar asked casually as he bit his fingers and pondered the chess game.

Odd didn't answer, and a few more moves made him doubly stressed. Caesar's hands on the verge of desperation were quite imposing, making his offensive stall.

"It's hard to say whether you are saved or not. ”

Odd bit his lip, and after these few moves, the game between the two was even again.

"How?"

Caesar made a backhand, but he had the upper hand in momentum.

Odd's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Caesar's talent in war chess to be so high. He can't say that he is a master of chess, but he can go from a beginner to equal and equal to himself in such a short period of time, which makes Odd, who is rarely an opponent, itch in his heart.

"I've heard that the Flamel family recently found a treasure, which is an elixir that is said to strengthen the magic circuit, allowing people to accumulate mana more quickly. It also has excellent curative effect on damage to magical circuits. But now, Alvaco treats it as a family heirloom, and I don't know if he will give it to you, an outsider. ”

When Caesar heard that there was really hope for a cure in his magic circuit, he stood up and looked at Odd with surprise and delight.

Odd was startled by Caesar who suddenly stood up, but was relieved to see the surprise on his face.

"Is my magic circuit really saved?"

Odd nodded:

"If you can get your hands on this elixir, I'm eighty percent sure I'll be able to cure your magic circuit. ”

"Yay!"

Hearing this, Caesar jumped up from the stone bench, grabbed Odd's shoulders and shook him back and forth:

"Wow, thank you so much, Odd. ”

After saying that, he rushed towards the gate.

"Odd, if you need help in the future, just look for me, I'll go first. ”

Odd shook his head helplessly as Caesar was speeding away, but turned his head to be immersed in the chessboard again.
