Chapter 10: The Academy of Magic
"Quick, follow me!" the young man in black saw that the Praetorian Guard was approaching rapidly, and hurriedly greeted Bert and Abby. www.biquge.info"Why are you running?" The fledgling Bert didn't care.
"The water is muddy in here, those three belong to the Merovingian family, do you think the Praetorian Guard will help you? Come with me. If you don't come, I'll go first!" Seeing that the Praetorian Guards were getting closer and closer, the young man in black immediately turned around and entered the alley.
Bert and Abby looked at each other and smiled bitterly, this world is not reasonable. Abby and Bert turned around and picked up Erin and ran into the alley.
"Quick, catch them! Hey, what are you doing with me, Caesar, do you know who I am? Oops, tap!" "Catch them all! Don't let any of them go, I'll take them back with me." There are also those who have run away, send a few people to chase them. "Caesar doesn't seem to have taken the Merovingians seriously. The Praetorian Guards quickly pressed the teenagers to the ground and tied them up.
Whether it's Bert or Abby, or even the boy in black with a leg injury, runs very fast. Even if he dragged Erin to run, he was much faster than the heavily armed Praetorian guards. After rounding a few streets, the boy in black stopped.
"Thank you for saving me, my name is Frank Spike. If it weren't for you, I guess I'd be dead today. The boy named Frank had a childish face, and seemed like a child to Bert. "Nothing, that's what we're supposed to do, my name is Bert Harvey. Here are two of my friends, this is Irene Phoebe, and we come from the village of Minow, Holy See. This is Abby Lopp, and we've just met. ”
"Why did they arrest you? and so hard. Erin asked. Frank was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I stole their money. ”
"Hmph! I knew I wouldn't save you. Abby snorted coldly when she heard this, the paladin didn't like this kind of stealing and touching dogs the most. Frank was unconvinced: "That's because they are unkind to the rich, they are so rich, and they don't help the poor." Seeing us poor people, they often come and bully us for fun. Before, one of my partners was beaten by them until he vomited blood because he was in their way. "It's not right, but stealing is wrong." You can go and report to the police. Abby still couldn't accept Frank's point.
"Report to the officials? Their family is the official in charge of the law, do they still expect them to be the masters of us poor?" Indeed, in this era of official protection, it is more difficult for the poor to seek justice than to ascend to heaven. "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, let's find a way to get out of here first. Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Bert hurried out to play a round.
"Besides, even if Frank is wrong, Abby will help if they bully people like this, right? Erin also helped to say something, and the two finally stopped arguing.
Frank pointed to a low wall a little further away and said, "From there, I know that there is a path behind that wall that leads to the main road." With that, Frank led the group over there.
Several people climbed over the wall, and sure enough, there was a path, and at the end of the path there were some pedestrians coming and going, and everyone carefully poked their heads out to see that there were no Praetorian Guards patrolling, and they were all relieved.
"Since it's okay, I'll go back first. My master is still waiting for me. After getting on the road, Abby was the first to say goodbye. "Hmm. We will meet again in the future, my home is in Mino, if you have time to wait for me to come home. Although the contact time has not been long, Bert still likes this friend. Watching Abby disappear into the corner, Frank also said goodbye: "Then I'll go too, my friend is still waiting for me to buy him medicine." "Well, be careful, don't get touched by them, and don't steal anything again!" said Erin, staring at little Frank.
"Hmph, if they stop bullying us, I won't provoke them. Big brother big sister, I'm leaving. Take care of yourselves. "Well, bye-bye. Bert and Erin waved Frank away.
"With so many things on your first day in the imperial capital, you don't know what kind of city this is?" Bert feared for the future. Eileen heard Bert's exclamation. "No matter what the future holds, we just need to follow our hearts, as long as we have a clear conscience, there is nothing to fear. "Thank you Erin, I'm fine. My father told me that a manly man stands up to the sky, and no matter how difficult it is, as long as you have someone behind you to protect, you can't back down. ”
Maybe in many years, the current teenager will become a man who stands up to the sky, but now he is just a child full of confusion.
After experiencing this, the two were in no mood to go shopping anymore, and found the Imperial Academy of Magic after asking people everywhere.
The Academy of Magic, located in the center of the Imperial Magic District, is located within the second city wall, covering a total area of more than 6,000 acres, gathering magical elites selected from all over the empire, with tens of thousands of students and instructors. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the Academy of Magic, Bert and Erin were shocked by the environment.
Two huge magical mechs stood at the entrance of the academy, and from the faint light of their heads, it could be seen that they were already charged, and anyone who dared to sneak in without permission would be violently attacked by them. A little farther away was a fountain, and even Bert, who had never studied magic, could clearly see the blue water magic elves frolicking in the pool. In the sky, it was a pale yellow wind magic spirit that flew by quickly. It is said that the Imperial Capital Academy of Magic was built on a huge source of magic, and it seems that this legend is not false. These situations where magic elves are visible to the naked eye are almost impossible to appear in other places, and the only reason that can be explained is that the magic is too strong here.
Looking further away, there is a towering white ** pagoda, the entire magic tower is made of white marble, white marble is the exclusive material of the imperial royalty, which shows the status of the magic academy in the empire. Mages are constantly using floating magic to enter and exit the tower.
"Wow! it's the largest magic academy in the Empire, it's magnificent!" Bert and Erin were shocked by the gorgeous scene before them.
The two arrived at the gate of the academy, and Bert cautiously passed by the magic mecha. Bert obviously saw that the glowing eyes of the magic mecha had been staring at him, and the boy was afraid that he would accidentally anger this three-meter-tall monster, and it was estimated that he would not be able to run if he wanted to. In just a few meters, Bert walked covered in sweat, and after walking past the magic mecha, Bert let out a deep sigh.
Seeing Bert, who didn't have such a gaffe even in the face of the velociraptors, Erin smiled slightly and explained to him, "If there is no command from the magician, the magic mecha will not take the initiative to attack, you see the two magicians over there, they are the ones who are manipulating the magic mecha." Following Erin's gaze, two middle-aged archmages wearing dark purple ** Dharma robes were also watching the two of them.
After a series of formalities, the two finally entered the Academy of Magic. All kinds of magicians in various magic robes shuttle through the magic academy. Different colors of magic robes represent different magical attributes, pale yellow is the wind mage, blue is the water mage, red is the fire mage, dark purple is the arcane math mage, and dark brown is the earth mage. Bert also noticed that there were some very few colors, such as Eileen's time-based lilac magic robes, which were very rare.
Erin explains that there are five main magical attributes in this world, which are wind, fire, water, earth, and mathematics. When a mage tests a new apprentice for magic, he attacks the apprentice with a very small amount of magic, and if the apprentice is suitable for the magic of this attribute, he will absorb the magic and thus determine his magic attributes. After determining the magic attributes, the apprentice can learn the magic of the department, but when the magic attribute is confirmed, some magic apprentices cannot effectively control the magic of the department, and there will be two situations. One possibility is that the apprentice didn't have much talent for magic, and was not suited to practice magic. It is also possible that the Magic Apprentice's attributes are very rare branch magic. For example, Eileen's time magic is a branch of the Arcane Mathematics system. There is no confirmed number of exactly how many types of magic there are, and all of this is still being explored.
